I had a bunch of scanned documents i had to quickly convert to text. I polled my fellow FemBots and GuyBots, and here are the recommendations:

-Evernote (2 people) note: also handwriting to text
-Acrobat http://blogs.adobe.com/acrobat/acrobat_ocr_make_your_scanned/
-Online OCR (3 people) onlineocr.net
-Wondershare PDF Editor Pro
-Paperport Professional (not cheap)

<<These have not been used by anyone, but given as possible options>>
-Richoh’ Image to Text app http://www.ricohinnovations.com/imagetotext-iphone
-Prismo ($10) Prismo
-Perfect OCR ($3) Perfect OCR
-Paperfile.net http://www.paperfile.net/

Also would like to add MyScriptMemo as a free app to convert handwriting to text on an iPad

A Really Smart Notebook

Write this down….Evernote has teamed up with Moleskin to bring a smart notebook. i am talking an old school paper and pen notebook. but here is the smart, take a picture of the page using the Evernote app on your tablet or phone and it converts it to text! using the  new Page Camera feature in the  latest Evernote update.

Handwriting recognition built into the moleskin notebook…very cool.

It uses the technology from the Livescribe dot paper mentioned in Issue #1 of MyFembot back in 2008.

The Evernote Moleskin notebook will be out soon; in the meantime, update your Evernote app and stay tuned.
