It is quick and clearly dependant on how big a document but it is very efficient and if need be can be done in the background if a big document.

Thanks colin.  This would certainly be one way of doing it that would make sense.  How long does the conversion take?

Graham, I use Omny Page direct for this by right clicking entering on Omny Page then word docuemtn in sub menu which works fine as long as there is something sensible to convert.

Subject: [BCAB] scanning faxes, jpgs and tiffs

Hi all.

I have been asked a question about scanning faxes and graphical images sent to a person in a work environment to read.

I know that using a program such as Kurzweil 1000 is very effective for this as you can scan directly into the program or use the convert option that you can get at from the context menu in Internet Explorer.

Still, over £600 is quite a lot to ask so before justifying this, are there simpler solutions?

I know that Omnipage and Finereader can be used for these tasks but I would guess the process would be slower as you need to convert written scanned documents into a form that is readable rather than working within the program directly.

The question generally is whether to suggest a bespoke solution such as Kurzweil 1000 or one of the cheaper options.  I think that quite a lot of tif files and PDF files will be scanned so any views on quick effective OCR of these file types would be helpful.  The PDF files contain no actual text so doing OCR is required.

Regards

Graham
