scan+editing the text

Moloko · Post by **Moloko** » 02 Dec 2006 00:20

is it possible to scan a document and then to edit the text on the scaned copy?

I have some extensive document that I need to put in the computer and edit and do not want to type all that information by hands. So, I was thinking if I scan it first and then if there is a possibility, I would edit it.
Is it possible to do?

Yes, it's possible, but there is an additional step in the middle - you have to process scanned image using OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software and get a text file.
One of the well-known OCR software packages is FineReader from ABBYY (Russian company).

A чем MSWord плох? :pain1:

Сканеры дают выбор программы для работы с ОСR, MSWord работает отлично. :great:

Или речь идет о программе сканирования? А разве такие программы не поставляются со сканерами? :roll:

FineReader либо сканирует сам, либо просит на вход отсканированные уже страницы, например в jpeg. Всё что делает FineReader - переводит картинку в текст. Чем редактировать текст - хоть Вордом, хоть Ноутпэдом.

Со сканерами часто поставляются другие программы OCR, но FineReader реально рулит.

ABBYY website is: http://www.abbyy.com/

Fine Reader is expensive ($399).
But they have lighter version of OCR software, ABBYY Scan To Office, which might be good enough for your application: http://www.abbyy.com/scantooffice/ and it's only $50.

hey, guys, can someone do me a favor?
I don't have the money to buy a new scanner or 399$ programm
So, I was wondering if may be I could send you by email those scaned 2 pages and you could put it in the Word file?
that would save my life!
Sorry if my request is too obnoxious

Две странички текста руками вколотить - "save my life"?
Подозреваю, что любой сканнер (от $20) продается с каким-либо Optical Character Recognition software.
Начал бы задумываться, если бы страничек было, скажем, больше 50 :mrgreen:

дак там не просто 2 страницы текста- там еще с цифрами - и надо не ошибатьяся на какой линии какая цифра...
у меня HP psc 1350 модель, all-in-one сканер, копировальник и принтер.
Не знаете, может и в моем есть optical character recognition? И как найти этого носорога оптического?
