    How do you do this? (office-type question)

    Lets say I have some printed documents that I need to scan into my computer (I have a scanner) and be able to edit them as a txt file or something similar. How do you do that?

    Everything I deal with is software writing or graphics related, I dont know much about this "office" kind of stuff.

    Thx.

      you'll want to scan in it in .doc or .rtf format, the scanner/scanning software should give that option.

                  years ago on my old 486 i had some great softwear that did this.

                  not seem anything advertised recently that does this.

                  is there any softwear online i can buy or is free?

                  i find the easy way to scan documents is to simply photograph them with even just a camera phone, then decrease colour to 2 colours. you get a great copy.

                      If it's just a few pages you can simply use a service like http://ocrnow.com - either with your scanner, or they have an iphone app as well.

                      Either way, you're looking for an OCR software.

                              scanning to pdf might work for you

                              you'll be able to search the scanned documents for text and edit if need be

                                      you need ORC software like mentioned above and last I checked scan docs at high dpi resolution, when I did it I did at 600 dpi

                                          What kind of scanner are you using? The software that came with our HP all-in-one printer/scanner allows us to scan to searchable pdf files.

                                              OCR option to the software that comes with the scanner should be available. Every scanner has it - see the interface of the program.

                                                      "recognita" worked really well. but then again, it was about 12 years ago.
