scanning problem

Hi everybody,

I have HP 2400 scanner and when i try to scan text document and saved it in words it alters my original text in different format .

For example if i scan "world" i shows me " w~rld"

what should i do ? Sad

1. should i change my scanner to higher version ?

2. Is there any way to change .jpg file into .txt format.

Please help

Any help would be really really appreciated.

 

maybe there's a better version of the software you use to translate from the scan to a word document?

 

I'm sure that was a goof on Halo's part. At any rate, the scanner is irrelevant, this is a limitation of your OCR software. The answer? Try some different software, or see if there is an update for it.

 

Thanks for reply guys but i know you can solve this problem.

Think more if u can !

Also, have you tried updating the drivers?

 

hi Adrynalyne,
my scanner drivers are updated.

Adrynalyne, do u think omnipage ocr can solve this problem ?

 

Its possible. All the scanner is doing is outputting what it sees. If this only happens when trying to convert it to a editable text, then the scanner doesn't play a part in it anymore. Then its up to the OCR program to convert it accurately. The problem is, if the program isn't accurate, or if the document has a smudge, blemish or symbol it can't identify, thats when errors come up.

I haven't used OCR much, but I can tell you when I have, there has always been a few errors.

Some programs perform better than others, which is why it isn't a bad idea to try a few different ones, to get a different outlook on the issue.

 

Sorry for the late follow up. Been away on travels.

Thanks guys

omnipage 15 has solved my problem,a good OCR
