Hi Michael
Google Docs has the best OCR Program I have ever used - well worth a
look at!!
Scan your document - post it up to Google Drive - Select OCR from within
Google. 90++ accurate!!

A scanner is basically a camera that photographs sheets of paper. Its output is a
picture. You can read any text in that picture, but the computer cannot. For the computer
to do this, it needs a special program called an OCR (Optical Character Recognition)
program; these are often supplied with the the scanner and will read the scan (the
"photograph" of the page) into a text file - sometimes .doc, sometimes .html,
sometimes .txt. You then open (or insert) this file into an OO document and can proceed
to edit it.
Complete integration of this process, so that a scanner produces a text file
directly in OO, is very complex and has not been implemented.
