Does it come with OCR software?

I have that software on my computer so when I scan and import it works. Are you wanting to use the printer as a stand alone unit that would scan something, process by ocr, and print it out without going through a computer? I don't think it would do that.....

The bundled software is Presto Pagemanager 9, from NewSoft. NewSoft has a fairly highly regarded OCR product, but as this short review notes, the OCR in Pagemanager does not seem to be as good. Personally, I haven't used the OCR function, but I use scan to multi-page pdf on a daily basis and that's pretty bullet proof.

No it does not. You might want to look into an OCR software package that can be installed on your computer an will work with any scanned text document. Update: Disregard answer above - it was wrong. I just discovered my 810 does have OCR. OCR is one of the scanning options. I ran a test document and it placed the converted text on notepad with no conversion errors. You could probably have it default to your word processor or simply copy and paste.

I bought this as a gift so I'm not sure if it came with any software. Sorry

Yes, directly by scanning, as a download, or by attaching camera disk. See instructions for each application. Actually it is quite inexpensive and convenient. I purchase high quality photo paper @$20/100 sheets in 8"x11" size. The quality of the photos is excellent.

Yes it does. Great for checks and envelopes but has a few software flaws which makes the printer not as easy to use as earlier versions.. Good luck

Unfortunately not. It only displays your hand writing and saves it as a PDF image.

Nope - no handwriting recognition/transcription on Scansnaps. At least not on the S300 or discontinued S510 models. The OCR is used only to take the scanned images (all scans with these scanners are as images) and convert the text to searchable text. Evernote has handwriting recognition, though I haven't used it much and don't know how accurate it is. I believe that Microsoft OneNote 2007 also can do this; OneNote 2010 might be improved over the previous version. Scansnap is not very good at all for document organization. As a matter of fact it is pretty poor. E.g., you cannot import any other documents (PDF) and have them made searchable; only that which was scanned with the Scansnap. So if you have a lot of PDF documents already you would have to scan them all over again. Also, Scansnap doesn't allow you to use Paperport with it, like most scanners do. Jim

No- you'd have to sort things in Evernote by folders and tags. But it does do OCR so your scans are searchable.

Yes, it is capable of scanning receipts, business cards & greeting cards. The Capture Perfect software is the fastest scanning and ocr software I have ever worked with and is easy to use.

The unit and software does not have OCR capabilities, as far as I know. You would need separate software to do that. I expect you could find something that would work. I did not have that application in mind. It works great for my application.

This model doesn't offer OCR, but other models do where you can copy and paste into Word. - Sarah @ Doxie Customer Care

Yes but you need their software (which is sold). They have already what you ask but they want you to pay for it. I haven't use it, i don't need it. But i bought their recognition software and its great.

Exactly what the (software) is that comes with it I cannot say. I can tell you that it does come with everything you need that makes it a great scanner. I hope this helps.

Yes it does! You could also install third party software for word processing with spell check.
