“You mean all this time I didn’t have to retype my document?”
Correct.
OCR, or Optical Character Recognition, which most scanners on the market today have built right in to the software take a document that has text on it and converts it to editable text in Microsoft Word or RTF programs like notepad.
It is usually just the click of a button and then a scan option. It means going from here.

Really? That’s really cool. I was thinking about if there’s anything like this before so I don’t have to retype all my assignment again in to the computer. Where can I get this software?

I think the scanner only for scanning something that do by hand. I don’t know that scanner can scan the thing we print out to the Microsoft word and can edit it.

I don’t think that scaner can only scan things and print. They know things about software. The thing is OCR it means optical Character Recognition and it sounds OK.

THANKYOU for telling us about this FANTASTIC software! If I own this software, it would definetly make my life a whole lot easier, because I am the person who sorts-of forgets to save things *after printing.* That’s why, I can easily scan the “PAPER” and be able to “EDIT” it.
*HOPE I GET ONE FOR FREE!!!
