text grabber and prizmo

2013-06-10 Thread Larry Lumpkin

a letter, something simple with no columns etc, both Prizmo and Text Grabber will do the job, especially when using the StandScan Pro. However, imbedded columns and symbols for grammes/ounces/fractions etc can prove daunting for these pocket sized OCR packages. Now that we have a way to position
