Unable to use my scanner's ocr

[Malcolm l]

I am using Dell laptop and I am a architect student. I have to refer so many book daily for my project and many time I have to take some content from there. For that I am using Canon Scan 8800F but when I scan it and convert it but after that it gives me the output format of file in jpeg. I don’t know how to convert it in text file to word. Please give me solution regarding that issue then it will be vry helpful for me. please if you have any idea then let me know.

As you have said in your post that you are getting the output format in JPEG file. But you want it in text file or word file. So that is why I suggest you to check the setting before you start the scanning and after opening the setting set the output format of the document as word file or text file whichever you want. I think after doing this steps you will not get the same issue just try this solution and let me know if this solution worked for you or not?

I have read your problem and if you are unable to convert the jpeg file in text file then I suggest you to download the software for it and then install it in your computer. After that whenever you scan any documents in your laptop it will directly give you option for the convert the JPEG or any image file which contents the text in to the word file or text file I think this software will solve your all issue and after that you will not face any issues with your laptop.

I have read all of your post as you has suggested in your post I have checked all the setting in my computer but I didn’t find any option to change the output format of my document.
