If you don't know what OCR means, then you can't possibly have a decent
answer for the OP. Move on. -- Gary S. Terhune MS-MVP Shell/User www.grystmill.com "ctowers" wrote in message ... WTF does everyone use an acronym when they want help ??

free OCR program?
AFAIC, it's hard to find a decent OCR program that you PAY for. I doubt I
would consider any free OCR "decent", but then, I'm a perfectionist with high demands when it comes to OCR. I've done several projects wherein I batch-process hundreds or thousands of already scanned images and then put them into searchable databases. (Largest project, and the first I did, was ~650,000 pages.) I use ABBYY FineReader http://tinyurl.com/2pdrbo That said, Google is your friend. Here's a few. Why don't you test them out and report back? http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=OCR+free -- Gary S. Terhune MS-MVP Shell/User www.grystmill.com "Jean" wrote in message ...

free OCR program?
Gotta agree with Gary on this one, no doubt. Besides, don't you see
yourself doing the same thing with "_ct_"?.....and we can't even look up what the 'c' stands for! And 'WTF'.....this is the Me NG......"We Think Friendly". Even an old f*rt like myself knows what OCR stands for! Computers are a myriad of acronyms.......get a life.....get a book...get used to it! And for the OP: take a look at the following Google search for OCR freeware, the first one on the list looks pretty good. http://www.google.com/search?q=free+...x=&startPage=1 I have one that has only been used once and it came with my scanner. Hope you find what you need....... Heirloom, old and the world is made of acronyms "Gary S. Terhune" none wrote in message ...

Once again, I have to agree........the OCR that came with my scanner leaves
a LOT to be desired, hence, the reason it was used only once g. Heirloom, old and 650,000 pages?.......whew. "Gary S. Terhune" none wrote in message ...

Being resourceful, I did a google search before I posted here. I was hoping
that someone in the newsgroup could make a recommendation. "Gary S. Terhune" none wrote in message ... | AFAIC, it's hard to find a decent OCR program that you PAY for.

OK, I give up.....what is an OCR program?? Exactly, I mean. Is it a
scanning one, or one you can touch up photos. Help this blonde Canadian, please.....8-)) As for California (Land of the Nuts) and environmental stuff.....that figures. But having worked in law for 25 years, I know how wordy stuff gets. Hated doing Appeals. 7 copies....3 Appellate Court Judges. Yuck. Da Blonde "Gary S. Terhune" none wrote in message ...

Optical Character Recognition. It looks at an image of a document and then
does its best to decipher it and produce a text file, assuming there is text involved. Scanners often come bundled with cheap, lousy OCR apps. -- Gary S.
