SCANNER

Both hand-held and flatbed hardware and software for copying graphics images and text into computer files. Both color and black and white options are available. We have never had much luck with hand-held versions, but flatbed scanners do a terrific job. Text scanned as graphics must be converted into computer text via specialized software such as Omni Page Pro from Caere (800-GO-CAERE). Flatbed scanners are reviewed and rated in NewMedia, May 5, 1998, 69-71. (See also OCR )
