OCR with this device? Has anyone tried it?

Excuse me, how do I use the IRIS, can you give me some more details. Much appreciated. I am thinking to buy this C7280 from Staples this weekend since it is on sale.

Hi Dennis, I haven't tried this myself, but I would guess that this device would struggle to accurately record equations: it will probably mistake Greek characters/mathematical characters for more common letters, although you may be able to select mathematical formula as the OCR language.

I'm not sure. What I do know is that it did not read my print every time so I returned it. For me it needed to work consistently.

Need to scan into Adobe Photoshop CS5 / Windows 7 / 64 Bit -- wondering if you are using it for that and if it worked.

I've updated the firmware to the latest version (something of a comedy of errors), and I find that it just doesn't handle PDF files very well. The second problem can be sidestepped if you can reformat your PDF documents with larger margins. Not ideal, I know. I haven't encountered the first problem yet. Updating the firmware may be a solution for you on that. (I didn't try any PDF files until after updating.)

I've only scanned slides but I would guess photos will do well also. File format is JPEG. The file size would be limited by the space available on the micro-SD card. I'll try some photos and respond again. I am very happy with the scanner for slides, however.

There is no OCR, but if your scanner has OCR, you can import the text as a recipe.

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

Yes and no. It isn't a true document scanner so you are manually scanning each and every page. The main point of interest is the optical character application (Adobe's ABBYY FineReader Version 9). This converts scanned text to either PDF or Word format. It's not a bad program for pamphlets and pure text documents. However I was hoping to scan a workshop manual for my car - that was a Fail for reasons that have more to do with Word than with FineReader. In short I am now looking for document scanning software because nothing included with the scanner was up to the task I was attempting.

Call ABBY on this one - FR works with word and dff files. No OCR program is perfect but FR does do a great job.

I wasn't sure either. Just read others' comments. Opened the package and gave it a try. It works!There was a dialog that appeared saying that it was trying to detect the kind of keyboard. I was already using the device in Openoffice before I looked at the dialog. The device worked as the others said, so I simply closed the dialog.

if you mean like a book page or document (the text), this trick is accomplished by OCR (Optical Character Recognition). According to the description, this device comes with the OCR software, but I can't testify to how good it is as I already had Omnipage.

I have the free Express Scribe program and it works with it to some degree, but not with all the functions. I do use it successfully with WavPlayer, but this may be a paid program. I am not sure as it was provided by one of my companies.

This model doesn't offer OCR, but other models do where you can copy and paste into Word. - Sarah @ Doxie Customer Care

Actually, I haven't used it. Sorry. I just copy or scan from this printer so far.

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 - in fact, that has been a bit of a problem (!) but here is the brand you need because there ARE clear enough -- in any color -- to easily read documents through them: Sparco 01798. Just look that up on Amazon and you'll find them. They are THE BEST and I've used them for YEARS :-) If you have any questions, just email me directly: Alexandra.mitchell@hotmail.com.
