Q: A need to translate about 50 pages of text. First I needed to get the actual 50 pages scanned. My printer (an HP C4180-using it on a mac) has built in OCR software. I scanned everything from Scan-to-OCR and when I pressed accept, it went right onto the text edit screen as what looked like code but it was just a few random letters. I scanned 50 pages and got about 8 pages of random letters. I tried saving the 8 pages as .rtf but on word it still looked the same. Did I do something wrong? Can someone help me with this? I really need this on my computer soon.
A: I can't say what is wrong with the attempts you have made If anything however, as an alternative, some other OCR Software may be desirable. I use OmniPage which works extremely well for me and searching Google reveals a wide selection. URL: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=OCR+Software I Hope this Helps!
