Hi Dan :) I could find Simple Scan under "Applications/ Graphics". Thanks,
It is kind of stuck on the fact that I do not have a scanner. Also, couldn't find explicit mention of OCR, but I guess the menu chain Document -> Scan -> Text might be doing that. Seems there is some confusion here or perhaps I am not able to grasp the idea / use Simple Scan. I have a .png from a website that rost52 suggested I can pass through OCR so that I do not have to manually copy some numbers from it. Simple Scan does not take .png (or any file) as an input. (Right?) I checked under Simple Scan preferences, the source choice doesn't have "file" / "browse" facility. I have Simple Scan 3.2.1 Am I using simple scan correctly? Is there a way to separate the OCR part of Simple Scan application from the scanning part?! I mean from the menus itself, not getting down to the code!

Very likely your Linux version will have a similar OCR. --Dan On 10/14/2012 07:00 AM, Viral Orpe wrote: > Hi :) > > > Ideally, I would like to get rid of the dependency and do all the work, the > web-site's > > and mine, from raw data to have timely results with better control on various > parameters. > > However, in the meanwhile I can try your idea. > > What are the important softwares for OCR? > I thought they come bundled only when one purchases some scanner. > > My system details are given below. > > > Thanks, > Regards, > Viral Orpe :) > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Processor : Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual Core E6600 CPU 3.00GHz > Memory : 4GB, DDR3 > OS : Linux Mint 12 Lisa - Kernel Linux 3.0.0-13-generic (i686) > LibreOffice : LibreOffice 3.4.3 OOO340m1 (Build:302) > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > > > ________________________________ > From: rost52 <bugquestcon...@online.de> > To: users@global.libreoffice.org > Sent: Sunday, October 14, 2012 2:01 PM > Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Ambiguous Calc cell status show > > Viral, I can't comment on your request with the cursor but got an idea > concerning typing numbers > displayed in a png-file into calc. > Did you consider already using an OCR SW to transfer your numbers into a > copy-enabled data form? > > On 14.10.2012 15:45, Viral Orpe wrote: >> Hi :) >> >> I could not find a better line for SUBJECT, sorry! >> >> Background: >> I am copying a few numbers from a website generated .png in to Calc. >> These numbers are neither download_able nor copy-paste_able. >> They have to be manually seen in web browser and typed in Calc. >> I typically tile the browser and Calc windows - manually, yet to find a >> "tile windows" option, >> (but that is not my query). >> I switch between the browser and Calc for every new set of data - say every >> 2 minutes. >> >> When I am inside the browser window, filling forms to request data or >> adjusting >> the output so all numbers are seen together, the Calc window is obviously >> deselected. >> However, the Calc cell I was last present in does NOT show any change in >> appearance. >> It is showing that it is the selected cell but it is ignorant about whether >> the application >> (Calc) itself is selected or not. >> >> Problem: >> When I am done adjusting with browser window, I make a mental note of the >> number >> to be transferred next.
