Back When Dinosaurs Roamed The Earth Part I

Me, in 1994: "I have just successfully scanned my first Pros gif and can make it available to interested parties. It's a B&W (that's all the scanner can handle) photo of Bodie and Doyle. I have 3 or 4 other photos that I can also scan in if there is interest (and even if there is not I have found a new toy).

BTW, does anyone have access to character recognition software that is Apple compatible? We have an Apple scanner, 4 bit, black & white. We also have have Apple Scan 1.0.2. If we can get a hold of the software I will try scanning in more circuit stories."

Finereader Express is available for Macs; the full version of Finereader is not. (Is not cheap.)

VelOCRaptor is $29; works on PDFs; is easy to convert any image file to a PDF.

PDF OCR X has a free version that does one page at a time, or the full version for $29. (Could try the free version and see how well it does.)
