Re: Scanning & ocr options?
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.Sent from my iPhoneOn Aug 7, 2023, at 12:57 PM, 'Jason White' via MacVisionaries wrote:

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.

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

Re: Scanning & ocr options?
Personally I just use OCR for images or PDFs I need to turn to text. I never need to actually scan. If I did, I think I’d get a picture with my phone and transfer it to my computer. I don’t do it enough to need a scanner. > On Aug 7, 2023, at 11:59 AM, Traci Duncan wrote: > > To add to this question, do you guys use a scanner or document camera?

Re: Scanning & ocr options?
The option frequently mentioned is ABBYY FineReader for Mac. 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 on behalf of Traci Duncan Date: Saturday, August 5, 2023 at 15:27To: 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.
