does the unit process OCR

The unit and software does not have OCR capabilities, as far as I know. You would need separate software to do that. I expect you could find something that would work. I did not have that application in mind. It works great for my application.

No. VZ-1 HD does not process OCR, nor does the Presenter software come with OCR function. You can use VZ-1 HD with a 3rd party OCR software that supports USB cam, or image file input.

Yes, I successfully print and scan using a MacBook Pro Laptop (laptop using Wi-Fi, printer connected to the router with Ethernet.) However, I have not yet been able to get the OCR software to install on the Mac.

Yes. A word of caution though, scan direct to your computer so you can see the photo. I found that about every 15 scans I had to clean the unit. If you scanned to a memory stick you would not see the lines running through the photo until way later.

Well after reading on the canon for the last hour my only question has to do with OCR; no real reviews on how well the Canon performs in this area. There is one fairly major drawback to the Canon from what I can tell: no export to MS Word. Again I haven't tried the thing, but I've read the manual, and there is no mention of the capability. To me this isn't a big deal, I'm more worried about archiving than reformatting. The big plus of course is the apparent scan rate of 15 ppm. With that, I think I'm sold. I have the 215 ready for checkout.

The scanner does scan paper notes very well but I dont know about ocr pens.

FileCenter OCR button - under both the manage and edit tabs there is an OCR button next to, but separate from the scan button. Click on a file, then on the OCR button, then click recognize text and you are presented several ways to handle the file OCR output. FileCenter typically creates the scanned image and overlays it with the OCR file if you chose that option when scanning. Using this option, the OCR file is not visible, but is associated with the file you scanned or ran OCR on.

It depends on the program and the set up. I set mine up to pick up correctly in SAI and Photoshop. So yes, but after you set it up to do so.

Yes. The Open PDF function brings up an initial dialog that allows you to choose between converting only the text from the file or also converting the text in images contained in the file.The fidelity of the conversion depends upon image quality and fonts to some extent, but this is true of any scanned image. I have converted downloaded PDF mathematical papers producing legible text with relatively few errors that can often be picked up with the spell checker. In some cases, more difficult formatting may have to be repaired. My only irritation is that the formatting process uses a lot of styles. All and all, the PDF import is a good tool for repurposing text from the original PDF. PDF documents from WP are normally high quality. You have options for the quality ranging from Commerical Printing, PDF/A level A or level B compliance, and Publishing online. These produce different file sizes. Incidentally, WP uses the OEM Omnipage OCR engine to drive its conversion.

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

No, the printout is only black. It does list the operational sign next to each line of the printout.

Yes it can. Nuance PaperPort 12 scan software is included with the printer and it does OCR reasonably well.

Yes... Easy-CD-DA Extractor and ImgBurn will do the job very well. But Easy CD-DA Extractor has a C2 error detector.

The one I bought never worked right, it would not feed the document through. I threw it away. And got a thing called cam scanner for my Android phone. It's the only scanner I've needed in 4 years. No need for Windows and it does ocr and allows me to save as pdf so I can do whatever I want with it all from my phone or tablet.

Yes, it will scan in color. It will save in either jpeg or pdf format. Don't know what you want to do with it in OCR.

As others have indicated, the paper feeds from the front. If you use the included software, you can have it prompt you to proceed with the scan. This is particularly helpful to allow you to carefully insert the paper. For double-sided OCRing, it is very handy, and works fine with Windows 7 Ultimate.

I'm sorry, but this is not the scanner I purchased (same brand, different model.) I don't have any experience with the OCR software.

Not perfect, but very good. Brother uses Scansoft Paperport 12SE software by Nuance for scanning and OCR. It does a very good job with clear typed scans. If there is handwriting on the page, or unusual formatting, then sometimes the scan software gets confused. I find that it usually takes less than a minute per page to correct errors, if there are any. Proofreading is necessary with all OCR software to insure accuracy.
