Re: ? opening data in .gif pictures

["Walter Lake" <wlake@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Don, Michael and others who wrote

"Klepto" support wrote back that the web site that I was trying to read and
convert to text was a "dirty scan"

Does anyone know of an OCR package that will read "dirty" scanned text
posted as ".gif" or ".jpg" etc. ... i.e., Fine Reader etc.?? see the
following "OCR resource list" page at

http://web3.humboldt1.com/~jiva/ocr/_ocr_resource.htm

Thanks for your help

Walter

| You might want to try and print it out then scan it back in to a text file
using

| Hi Michael
|
| I downloaded "Kleptomania" and have not had any luck ... but then again
| that's typical ... given my "hands of stone"<G>
|
| Have enclosed a portion of a ".gif" file from one of the web pages. I
would
| appreciate it if you would try "Klepto" on it to see if you have any
| success.
|
| Thanks to Scheier and others who wrote with suggestions. Nothing is
working
| so far.
|
| Best regards
|

| | Walter,
| |
| | a screen capture OCR tool would do the trick. You might want to have a
| look
| | at "Kleptomania", one of the best OCR tools I know.

| | Several of the web sites that I want to download data from have the data
| in
| | "gif" or picture format. Does anyone know how to open .gif files into
text
| | or ".xls" files?
| |
