Does the scanner have this Optical Character Recognition built in, or is it best to make a hi resolution scan into some image format and THEN use some type of software?


Thanks
If you have Office 2003 or 2007, you can use the included Microsoft Office Document Scanning (found in Microsoft Office tools) to OCR the document on any scanner.

I do believe that there is a export to Word feature as well. Haven't used it in a while though.
