- hello netters,
-
- We are trying to put together a PC system capable of scanning and recognizing
- potentially large volumes of text. Everything from lengthy committe
- proposals to magazine articles to books are likely to be input. We also
- need the system to scan in color graphics occasionally.
-
- We think using caere omnipage pro 2.1 with a microtek 600dpi flatbed
- color scanner looks like the best way to accomplish this.
-
- If anyone has any experience in this area and would like to offer
- an opinion we would greatly appreciate it.
-
- If anyone has any experience using automatic sheet feeders with OCR
- packages we would appreciate hearing about it. We are concerned that
- the sheet feeders may not align forms well enough for the OCR package.
-
- Thank you for you help!!!
-
- regards,
-
