OCR - Back from vacation! I have previewed several OCR software product in the past. I'd be greatly surprised if anything could beat Omni Page Pro. It is pretty pricey, though. It's price puts it more in the category of an 'Industrial Strength' OCR product. If you have massive volumes to OCR with badly shaped and hard to read fonts, OmniPage Pro does a tremendous job. With clean crisp text, it speed and accuracy is amazing. I've often wished I had a scanner with automatic form feed here at home. OmniPage just gobbles up the pages - zip, zip, zip and it's done. Temperature hit 115 a couple of days last week in Lake Havasu City Arizona! Mike ps - I work for Amoco. The Amoco that is merging with British Petroleum. This will probably get me my retirement that I have been trying to get for the last 3 years! Maybe then I can dig out all my ancestors that have been hiding! -----Original Message----- From: Harriette Jensen <hariji@sirius.com> To: OK-IT-L@rootsweb.com <OK-IT-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Wednesday, September 02, 1998 9:43 PM Subject: Re: [OK-IT-L] Resource available >>What type of scanner do you have?
