new look. Whatever you do, however, keep in mind that the quality

Text Scanning

Aside from scanning images, your scanner can scan text and deliver

it into your word processor, eliminating the need for retyping. This

is done through the use of Optical Character Recognition (OCR)

software, which converts scans to text and retains text formats

through the software's ability to recognize the shapes, shades and

lines that make up individual characters.
