Re: Text in images to a text file



I think I'll leave the pen thing then. My sister a PA, with super fast
typing skills. It looks like I may have to give her a call. Thanks for
the info Tyler.

I hereby accuse bobblebob@xxxxxxxxx of stating:

Thanks for the replays, I'll give the suggested programs a try. If they
suck I'll have to get typing. I just had another thought: would one of
those i-pen things do the job (you know those pens with a laser that
you drag over text)? Actually it would probably be as quick to type, I
guess.

The pen is just a cheap-o scanner, though, so there's going to be OCR
software at some point along the line anyway - even if it's just a
component of the driver for the pen. And if it is, you had better hope they
have a linux driver for the pen and also that the included OCR software
doesn't suck too much itself.
