Converting Scanned Documents Into Editable Text
You can scan a document and convert the text into a format data that you can edit with a word processing program. This process is called OCR (Optical Character Recognition). To scan and use OCR, you need to use an OCR program, such as the ABBYY FineReader program that came with your scanner.
Note:|
ABBYY FineReader may not be included in some countries.
