Re: Scanning & ocr options?

[Jonathan C. Cohn]

Actually, one  of the options in  contextual menu  that I often see his scan from Jon’s  iPhone. So that should be quite easy to do.

All of the documents I need to process are PDF files anyway, except for what arrives in the mail, and I use an iPhone for that. To answer the question, I would expect both scanners and cameras to be supported. On 7/8/23 11:59, Traci Duncan wrote: To add to this question, do you guys use a scanner or document camera?

I haven’t used it, and there may be alternatives now. I have used the Windows version (a former colleague arranged for my then workplace to acquire it, which is how I was introduced to it). The document format recognition is very good, as is the OCR accuracy. I used it mostly to process PDF files containing images of printed pages.   From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> on behalf of Traci Duncan <our4p...@gmail.com> Date: Saturday, August 5, 2023 at 15:27 To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> Subject: Scanning & ocr options? Hi all, I don’t know much about full scanning OCR options. I was just reading a bit about pearl and open book from Jaws. Does the Mac have solutions like that? One main thing I want is the ability to know if my reading material is right side up. I also like the idea of the layout of the page remaining intact. Tables, columns, etc. Thanks for educating me. :) Traci -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
