@Granny:

Do you know someone with a scanner. Most scanners come with an OCR program, most likely ABBYY Sprint. My Epson V500 came with Sprint 6.0 and the DS-30 came with Sprint 9.0. Both work well but in my experience they work better with Windows XP than 7. They do work well if you have W7 Pro and run them as XP programs. And there is ABBYY version 4 that was on the cover disc for an issue of PC Plus in the early 2000s.
