Hello,
I have a manual that is currently scanned and I need to convert it to a word document. I was wondering if there are any services or software that can do it.

Thanks,
Dan

I believe this site belongs to a Warrior:

Document Imaging Services by BookScanning.com

Perhaps they can help.

Cheers,

Are you only looking for someone to perform this service for you? Or are you also open to software? OmniPage does an awesome job:

Or you can use Microsoft document imaging under Office Tools.

What format is your image file in?

If it is a .tiff .tif or .mdi then Office Document Imaging (within Office Tools) should allow you to import it and work on it.

Good luck with that... when you scan a document SOME SCANNERS create an image (picture) of the document and pastes it onto a pdf.

You'll need to find a software program real good character recognition built-in, or else you'll end up re-typing the whole thing anyway.
