To be honest, almost every time I have tried to OCR

with OCR software. Obviously lots of people do OCR, but the amount of
rework and editing necessary to get high accuracy is just as much work
as typing it in yourself for someone like me that is a fast touch
typer.
I just did exactly that myself a few weeks ago...I wound up typing
in an entire very fuzzy hex dump of a 4KB ROM. You wanna talk about
frustrating!
