I offered you to scan in the Fall of Blood Mountain, but I had some difficulties, so
I write again. I have an Canon SmartBase MPC190 Printer/Scanner but the Standard
Software doesn´t allow to scan in text files, only pictures.
I looked in the Internet and found out, that I need a special OCR Software that he can recognize the text. And so I want to ask if you could tell me where I can get this for free.

Hi Paul
Sorry this response took so long.
I recommended this software a few years ago in an E-mail to Project Aon:
<http://www.download.com/3000-2070-10152129.html?tag=lst-3-5>. Ignore the cost
information; the OCR software for printed text is freeware, you only have to pay
the (extortionate) license fee if you want to recognise handwriting.
It's not great software, but as long as you recognise only one page at a time it
should work OK.
Hope it helps!
