| 399085 | 2005-10-25 04:47:00 | Friends, I have these mountains of insurance policies, conditions, all kinds of correspondence etc etc. I want to scan and file electronically, if possible compressed to save disk space. Upon printing (if I needed) I want good quality. has anyone of you come upon software that neatly organised this. Will pay fro good software if that is what it takes. Cheers Johan |

You'll only need OCR if you want to edit the docuements you've scanned, but they wont be in original form. Otherwise just scan as an image (jpeg or pdf to keep size down). If it's a oncer, get your local print/copy shop to scan to disc (CD or DVD) for you. I get plans bigger than A3 scanned for me, it ain't cheap, but would probably be a a lot less for A4, especially if they can auto feed and scan it. |

They used to distribute it with their own special scanner (which would fit between the keyboard and monitor, or even be built into a keyboard) That was just a sheet scanner. I think it will work with other scanners ... | Graham L (2) | ||

Cheers Johan What Graham says is the best..it is! I also use TextBridge (www.nuance.com) to convert the documents to text for rapic filing and searching. You can't search an image, but you sure can search text files very fast if you need one in a hurry. |
