OCR'ing old manuals

Hi, Any recommendations for OCR software (preferably Windows 2000 - spit!) that'll allow the user to read from a image file rather than the software being incorporated with scanner software? Pete kindly loaned me a whole pile of documentation, and I can get it back to him far quicker if I can just scan all the pages as TIFF images for now and worry about passing it through OCR software at a later date! It would also be nice if said software was a) free :) and b) able to automatically recurse through a directory tree (or at least run from the command line without user input so that I can script that) cheers Jules ===== Backward conditioning: putting saliva in a dog's mouth in an attempt to make a bell ring. ________________________________________________________________________ Want to chat instantly with your online friends?
