will this software work without a scanner, i dont want to re scan everything in again, i already have the jpegs i want to just use soem ocr software on the jpegs if there is such a thing?

Thanks
I believe you might be looking for a program like SimpleOCR.  It will let you convert jpgs to plain text so you can copy or paste them into word.

http://www.simpleocr.com
just tried out simpleOCR its not very good at all, it couldnt recognise more than 50% of the document, is there any more sophisicated software you know of, i dont mind paying

Cheers
This one might work better, after this I'm out of ideas sorry.  The ones I have tested on the Softi Scan program seemed to worked a lot better.

just tried that one, tried using it on one cv image

below is what it came out with :|

what would i search for on google to get what i need?

Thanks
