I bought a huge (several hundred page) printed
reference book that I need to scan and store in
digital form, which I can then search for numbers,
words, phrases, etc..
I've already tried a couple of OCR programs, but
have had much trouble with the scan results. The
big problem is that each page of the book contains
many different fonts and font sizes, headers, footers,
etc., and the programs I've tried just can't properly
recognize all the varying text.
Anybody have first-hand experience with a program
(windoz or otherwise) which might be able to work
in this situation? The resulting file I want to generate
doesn't have to have all the fonts/sizes of the original.
What's your best recommendation?
Dave
