It usually comes with the scanner.

There's also OCR built into Office, called "Document Imaging," inside
Office Tools inside Microsoft Office in All Programs in the Start
menu.

I don't know how well it works.

I've used it. It's better than retyping the document.

"You're likable enough, Hillary." That falls in the category of
"damning with faint praise."

chuckle I had better results with the software that came with my scanner.
Last year I was given the task of taking a 200+ page tech manual and making
a digital version of it. I had *no* electronic files at all to work with. I
brought it home with me and scanned some of it in with my scanner and the
included OCR software. The rest I scanned in with the Toshiba copier we have
at work and saving it as a .tif file. My scanner, which cost considerably
less than the copier, did a better job. The copier was faster but I ended up
losing time in the proofing afterward.
