Hi

I use a 20 year old Epson Perfection 1650 with the Kurzweil scan software and that uses a 2 step process, scan and recognise, albeit integrated. 

 

Cheers

This has not been true for many years now with most name-brand scanners/multifunctions including HP, Brother, Canon, Epson, and some others.

I haven't encountered a scanner/multifunction in some time that does not include OCR functionality as part of its scanning suite.  I OCR scan all sorts of things with my Canon TS6300 all the time, as I prefer keeping electronic archives these days rather than file cabinets full of paper.

Scratch most feminists and underneath there is a woman who longs to be a sex object. The difference is that is not all she wants to be.
