Talking OCR Programme

I have been looking for ages for a resonable priced OCR programme to scan pages of text, to insert them into Office or Word documents, and after blundering around with MS Office XP I have stumbled across the one which is part of Office XP. Hidden under Microsoft Office Tools, MS Office Document Imaging. Worked wonders on the pages I have just scaned.

I use ABBYY FineReader and that too works like a treat - highly recommended.

"I use ABBYY FineReader and that too works like a treat"

I quite agree with you, from the Trial version 6, and the free Version 4 or 5 I have been using.
After disscusions with the guy's I work with, many of us didn't know this was included and so several went and got copy's of ABBYY Fine Reader. But If you have Office XP, you already have an integrated OCR Programme.
