Obviously you have not tried it.

Only a dumbass would make this statement above.

Quoted message said:

So you admit your experience is so far in the past as to be irrelevant and
you stubbornly post 3 misleading articles anyway?

Another dumbass presumption.

Quoted message said:

My point is apps like OmniPage are only good with reasonable text that

can

be converted by OCR like typed text, any wild fonts, cursive

handwriting,

Quoted message said:

even print handwriting and the like have poor results.

So what? Any font at all can be changed to an optimized font. The only

thing

Quoted message said:

that would be slightly difficult would be to run OCR on a funky styled and
laid out print job and editing it without leaving that layout style. Big
deal. Most corespondence (letters) fall in the category of 10+ points

arial

Quoted message said:

(sans serif) or times (serif) fonts are are very easily scanned with no
corrections required. That has been the state of OCR for several years

now.

Talking about wild fonts on a graphics page.

Quoted message said:

I have used Omnipage

Quoted message said:

over the years and I have tested their claims many times as they boasted
better OCR with each new version. While I don't mind correcting a few
characters, I wouldn't say it's perfect even on the clear text scan. The
results can be good but not always perfect. The point again is it's

limits

ways to go.

Please indicate WHICH version. It started to get very accurate around
version 9 or so and is now up to version 14. I use 10.5 and I have no

reason

Quoted message said:

to consider an upgrade at this point.

Well, I tried 10 but since you haven't tried anything newer then 10, how
would you know about the improvements of 14? Again, presumptions.

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Da... yeah, but that's not what I am talking about. I was talking about

a

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

way to convert the text from a graphic that is on your PC or MAC without
using a scanner.

Da...yeah, it is the same thing.

No it's not and the type of scanner is an obvious factor.

Quoted message said:

Software that can do the conversion without Hardware. I

Quoted message said:

don't believe I know of any.

No surprises about your lack of knowledge. Believe it or not, most high

end

Quoted message said:

graphics suites have an OCR engine. In addition, every single OCR
application I have used has also had the capability of running OCR on an
existing graphics file. IOW, no need to have it directly from the scanner.
It may be that some users assume the scanner is required because the

largest

Quoted message said:

button on the software controls will fire up the default scanner.

Well, you need a scanner to get it into the PC, if it's not on the drive
already, say from a magazine. I haven't used Omnipage for onboard graphics
file, so I don't know at which point they started doing that, but at the
time OmniPage was the only one with any real practical use.

Quoted message said:

I haven't searched for a long time to see what

developers have come up with but I'd be interested in any progress in

That is very obvious.

Yet another presumption.
You are a rude MF aren't you. You make a lot of presumptions.

Thanks for nothing but misleading statements.

Thanks for not knowing what you are talking about.

You should go to your water closet and say that in your mirror. I tried to
help you, but sticking to your original statement (no matter how wrong) is
much more important to you than conceding or learning. I gave you enough
information with sufficient references to validate everything I said. You
can download trial packages from any of the big OCR software vendors
including Omnipage. I guess your hope is simply that others won't check

the

facts and you won't look stupid? Don't count on it.

Go suck on your mothers [censored] too. Typical RBR [censored], not worth the time
responding too.

Somehow i don't see Armstrong riding all alone like the rest of us.
Iam still glad he supports such a thing.

Who can keep up with him? Probably has his own broom wagon though.

Just got this letter from Lance Armstrong, which is a plug for League of
American Bicyclists:

Dear Fellow Cyclis,

When I ride the Tour de France, I benefit from police escorts and roads
closed to automobile traffic. But when I train hundreds of miles a week
at home, I face the same difficulties riding on the road as you do.

I get this letter every year.

Quoted message said:

Narrow roads and nonexistent shoulders, aggressive and sometimes hostile
motorists, lack of bike access to bridges and transit -- these problems
are enough to frustrate any cyclist.

But like you, I am not willing to give up and throw away my bike.
Rather, I believe that we need to evaluate the problems and work
together to come up with good, practical solutions that improve
conditiions for cyclists and encourage many more people to join us on bikes.
