In my ignorance I thought this product could translate handwritten text from a scanned document. Not! Does anyone know of a program that does?

Hey Anne, when I write block letters, it does convert to text pretty well, but that makes writing kind of slow. If you want to use the Livescribe Echo and a software tool, I am not sure what is out there. On the other hand there are several handwriting to text conversion programs out there, some free: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/convert-your-handwritten-notes-to-text-by-using-windows-journal

I got this device to use as a printer. I haven't noticed any way to use it as a scanner.

Unfortunately not. It only displays your hand writing and saves it as a PDF image.

the problem I have in Windows 7 with this scanner is its handling of text. It only saves text in Notepad whereas in my previous HP scanner i could save directly into Word. Also the OCR function is a joke. Even Clean clear original text documents are garbled so as to be unusable. I am really disappointed with the performance of this scannerFred drew

You can only use transparencies. You'd need an Elmo if you want to use regular documents.

Yes the Nuance Dragon Software will actually transcribe for you. It works both live and off recordings. The program has difficulty with scientific or specialized words, and constantly messes up punctuation, but if the choice is between manual transcription and using Dragon you will come out WAY ahead using the software.

This comes with scanning software. It can also convert receipts and scanned documents to text for editing.Very user friendly as well.

Hi! It is an excelent tool for professional translation. It has several dictionaries and so far there is not a software that does what this tool does

I've only had to do this once...and it worked just fine. It will of course depend on your program the document is formatted in. But, we simply love this machine. The company we bought it from has always been happy to help me with any problems I encountered while learning to use it.

You should check out Penpower Handwriter from penpowerinc.com. You can write in Chinese and it will convert to digital form. It works for me pretty well. The con is that it only works in Windows.

Yes. I am still not very good at this either. I got it exactly right one time but now can't remember what I did. I even paid someone to come help me learn how to use this scanner but it didn't help. It's a little frustrating.

It probably will Gabe. I see no reason why it wouldn't. You just need to have transcribing software on you computer.

Sorry, don't know. I really did not like the software, so I dumped it for a Brother DS700d sheet fed scanner with Page Maker software which are far superior and costs less.

Yes, it does recognize hadnwriting. I scan handwritten notes to a PDF file sucessfully.

Sorry, Mohammed - I am having a bear of a time just trying to get my Encore 5.0.2 to work properly (you have to exit the file and re-enter in order to edit mistakes, as if it forgot what it was doing right while you were working on a very delicate musical passage. It's a very nice program otherwise, but seems to be quite self-contained. A quick perusal of "Help" and "Open File As..." mentions nothing about PDF. Nor is there a Converter. The last posts I have seen when I Google "GVOX" or "Encore 5.0.2" are from around 2011. Tell you the truth, there are a lot of questions I would like to ask them.

I Agree with Chaley,I loved Neat Receipts version 3 & 4. Unfortunately, version 5 lost all export functionality (the export receipts are unreadable, and the adjustments can't be saved)), and tech support has been unable to help. I wish it weren't so, but after months of trying to get help, they've lost me as a customer forever. Now I print to Adobe pdf, and/or scan from within Quicken. Simple and effective. Sorry Neat, but you seem to have gone the way of profits at the expense of functionality and customer service.
