Re: [libreoffice-users] Save and Edit Text document
My standard scanning on a Brother all-in-one does OCR. You’ll get the text, but not the formatting. > Op 25 okt. 2023, om 18:55 heeft Kenneth Groninga > het volgende geschreven: > > How do I scan a text document and save it and then later open it and edit > it? > > Kenneth Groninga > > -- > To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org > Problems? > https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ > Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette > List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ > Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy

If it is a short document, it is easy to use your phone with an app to convert the text.

Kenneth Groninga You need a software application that can do optical character recognition to transform the scanned te4xt into editable text. Do a search for OCR software for whatever platform you're using. hth Philip -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy
Re: [libreoffice-users] Save and Edit Text document
That's going to be in the scanner software, which isn't part of LibreOffice. Further the best (free) solution depends on what operating system you are using. I looked and there isn't anything in LibreOffice Plugins, but there is an OCR helper listed in OpenOffice extensions. I don't know anything about it, but the last time I tried the extensions in OpenOffice didn't work out for me. There was a time (maybe OpenOffice 2.3?) where Dragon (Naturally Speaking) had an extension that did voice recognition and tied into scanning software I had with a (now 20 years ago) epson all-in-one. But even then the OCR (turn image into text) was almost certainly provided by the printer/scanner software, and not the plugin. What you've described (in the other email) suggests that after an upgrade, the scanner is using a windows provided driver, and not the drive that came with the scanner. You should seek that drive and the related software that does OCR from the manufacturer. It's likely it is no longer supported. I would NOT download drivers from anywhere except the manufacturer sight. The real drivers are out there, but so are 1000 other malware fakes for every real driver. telling them apart basically requires sacrificing a test computer until you find the real one. This is assuming you're on windows.

Open the jpeg in Google Photos and use its OCR capabilities to produce a text file which you can then edit in Writer.

Kenneth Groninga LO Writer cannot open image files for editing nor pdf files. That's why the LO suite opens them in the Draw application.

It is a bit map picture if you scan it as a jpg. Are you sure you did that before? Maybe Writer can edit the text of pdfs, I don't know, try and scan it as that. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy
