You can use
the ABBYY FineReader OCR program to convert scanned documents to
editable text.
In Mac OS X 10.6 or 10.7, you can use ABBYY FineReader to
convert scanned documents to editable text by first using an
application such as Image Capture. Scan and save your document in
Image Capture, then open ABBYY FineReader, open the Get Images From pop-up menu, and select
File. Select the conversion option
you want to use, then select your scanned file and follow the
instructions on the screen.
Note: With Mac OS
X 10.6 or 10.7, in addition to scanning with Image Capture, you can
download and install EPSON Scan scanning software. EPSON Scan
provides additional image adjustment and photo correction features
for enhancing scanned images, and provides an interface for
TWAIN-compliant OCR scanning software, such as ABBYY FineReader.
To download EPSON Scan, visit Epson's driver download site
(U.S.
downloads or Canadian downloads).
