I have passed the request for information along to Danielle at the Texas
State Library.

Are any of you doing the scanning or using OCR (Optical Character
Recognition) software?

Thanks for your help.

Subject: OCR software

Our library is planning to have all our microfilm (newspapers, census
images) digitized.  Genealogy volunteers have scanned the more recent years,
and burned them onto DVDs.  We want to either get the OCR software, so that
the digitized images may be searched by keyword.  Do you know how other
libraries are doing this?  Does someone actually index everything?  I am
trying to learn more about how this is done, so that I can get some pricing
on the software, or find a company that will do this for us.  Any
information would be most appreciated.

Thank you,
Nanette
