This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
Your Boss must have a reason to request you to convert the images to text manually.
He may be trying to train your typing skills, in which case, I think you will need very much.
If you prefer to use OCR software, you will be wasting his/her effort.
The other case is that your boss is a sadistic masochist, intent on torturing his underlings,
and slowing down the efficiency of the company.
I would tend to think it's the first case, as you definitely need to improve on your spelling and
grammatical errors.

Anothere english teacher in the IT field o boy... stay with the topic man.
Dear MS Blaster,
He's doing this for a reason. Probably too much stuff was previously done by OCR and proved lousy.
Go and ask him. Word contains lots of hidden details, and he would probably even be able to work out if you cut and pasted simply by looking at the time stamps.
I would think the latest OmniPro would be better than typing manually, but only know the English version.
What language are the documents in?
Are you doing the job for your own company or is it an outsourced requirement? If it is for a client then you would run the risk of your company not getting paid. And the client might be able to tell, simply from the kind of mistakes made.

Heu if he will do copy paste and correct all the mistakes that OCR can do, there is no way the boss will find out, no way in earth.
