Does this scanner have OCR capability?

Yes. The software that came with my Canon does have an OCR feature, but the software itself isn't identified as a separate brand. Hope this helps.

It will OCR the receipt and as long as you have software that can look into the contents of the file, such as Hazel for Mac, http://www.noddlesoft.com, yes. But the software that comes with the ScanSnap itself will not. Hope that helps.

I run Windows 7 Professional 64-bit on both my desktop and notebook computers. I haven't installed the LiDE 700F on the notebook, but it works fine on the desktop.I'm not sure how one can blame the scanner for poor OCR. That's the provence of the software.

No. Scanner is marginal and only scans single pages. Scanner is in the trash.

I don't know. We are using the scanner as a POS for retail sales and for inventory. We will try it on a QR bar code and let you know soon

I have never used the scan feature on my printer, so I cannot answer you Question

Yes! I have been happy with this scanner. Has a reasonable price tag. Good luck!

Yes, I have scanned documents with it as well. It does not convert them to a PDF file though.

I have no idea - while the scanner has proved to be a good quality scanner, we gave up after lousy support to use the data the read, we just use the scanned files. it's a shame, really, as the concept appears great - but then again, their system can not even interpret any receipts in Euros.

Unfortunately the answer is "no". The program only recognizes scans as pictures and not characters.

Yes. If you use the feeder at the top of the machine it will scan legal size docs. It gives you the option to select the type of file jpeg, pdf etc. My only issue with this printer is that it seems to use ink rather quickly. My boss can't type so he asks that I print all his emails daily and thus the ink runs out quicker than I would like.

It can. It's an option. The scanner comes with a set of barcodes, that you can scan to put it into different modes.

My mgr elected not to use the scanner so I can't answer your question. Sorry. Other than that, it's been a very reliable and fairly easy to use machine so far. Regards, Ric

No it does not have scanner. I just checked it; but it is a great machine for faxing. That is the sole purpose in our office. I hope it helps.

Yes, if you have the right OCR software, something like like OmniPage Ultimate.

I completely disagree with the rest of these answers. I'm using an Epson DS-40 scanner (after trying and returning a Doxie) at 1200dpi for doing character recognition on thermal printed receipts. I've noticed a huge difference in the accuracy of the OCR software. No wonder, when it's getting so much more data to work with.

No I don't believe so. In my opinion, this is a pretty basic scanner. Worth the money but needs more features.
