Scan and Read Software

What is it?
A Scanning and reading software begins with using a scanner to scan paper documents into a computer. Software will then translate it into digital format so it can be read and edited. This process of converting an image of text, such as a scanned paper document or electronic PDF file, into computer-editable text is referred to as optical character recognition.
Who is it for?
Individuals who have print disabilities such as those who have difficulty reading paper based information due to dyslexia, visual impairment, learning difficulties or those whose physical impairments prevent them from handling and reading the printed word can benefit from having material scanned into the computer. This can help with reading books, mail, journals, reports and other publications.
