How accurate is the included OCR software at interpreting text?

I have not used it but the scanning is moderate at best. neat would prob be better

I did all of my scans as jpegs so they were very accurate. If you wanted something that you could edit, I really don't know the answer. One thing to consider... I used the scanner holder that kept it steady while scanning. This made a big difference. Scanning without the holder, everything was out of proportion and not worth doing.

Depends on the book. For textbooks not always. There isn't enough space in the book between the text and the binding so the words on the left get cut off. That or the scanner is slightly too big and wide so the scanner doesn't capture all the text. I would say for most books it's not suitable and you'd be better off with a flat bed book scanner which is much better quality and easier to use but more expensive.

They are display 90% correctly. Some elements of the subjust in the background just not look right. But most of my friends cannot tell the different. I use them when I have extra guess show up. I would not use them as my primary pairs.

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.

No- you'd have to sort things in Evernote by folders and tags. But it does do OCR so your scans are searchable.

I have never used that software. It works great with Rosetta Stone. Sorry I could not be of more help.

Pretty well - I've had some words misspelled throughout the document but easily corrected. It is better than retyping an entire document. Use the Microsoft Word spell check to catch all of the small issues.

As best I can tell, the numbers are appearing on the screen as they should. It appears as if some pixels are blown. So, if I happen to have any numbers (or characters) at a specific place, they do not correctly appear. however, if the same characters appear in other places, they are fine.

If you are referring to ebook text, then the answer is yes if converted. If you are talking about some sort of phone text, then no. I hope this helps, feel free to ask any further questions you may have.

Hello, The text is cut into the metal. I used the maximum character total and number of lines allowed (Greyhound I.D. and registration data with rescue group information on one side / Pet name in caps, our name plus email address and cell phone on the other side). My main concern was that so much text would be too small or spindly to read, especially on the heart shape. It looks great. Very professional! Time will tell regarding longevity, but my guess is that legibility won't be an issue.Mary.

You need an OCR program to do that , it`s not a scanner issue , it`s a software you need to use

Nope. Sorry. I wish they would add a simple OCR feature to the program for just that purpose, but it hasn't happened yet.

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.

Not sure I know what you mean. I understand "redact" to mean to block out text we don't want someone else to be able to read. Not sure how that translates into OCR software.

Yes. It has two main fonts. One script and one print. I have played with it a little. It turned out nice

It works okay, sometimes the text can get garbled as you move towards the spine of bound documents. Overall, it is pretty reliable for compiling excerpts of documents.

Unless you're using it in doctor's office and comparing the Withings read to the doctor's professional read, I don't know that one can determine teh Withings accuracy. Certainly not home alone. But I can say the numbers I got from it were consistent with those I got at the doctor's office under comparable circumstances (sitting still in chair at a calm time of day).
