Convert the GIF to TIF and any OCR software will convert it. Some (eg Finereader) will also handle PDF. Your bigger problem is the fact that the text is handwriting. It will time consuming (if indeed it is possible) to train the OCR software to read the handwriting. It may be quicker (and cheaper) to pay a copy typist to transcribe it. -- <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> RajeshNair wrote: > I have recd. some scanned documents that i which to convert to > editable text. > I had tried out many possible combinations like from .gif to pdf then > to word > nothing works out. > is there any software that can convert the .gif documents into > editable word document. > the document is scanned handwriting too, is it possible to convert it. > thanx in advance
