    Hey all,

    I run a small business and over the past years we have recorded all our information on customers etc.. into books and all hand written. Is there any software that would convert the handwriting into text? Like a very accurate one? I searched Google and heard about this OCR software. Cant find a free trail the works and not going pay until i know if its worth it.

    Any advice on what i should use? Thanks all :)

    Just a thought. But rather than buying software (I think there are open source programmes out there) that might not be able to do a reasonable job, it might actually be more effective to hire someone with data entry skills to do it for you.

    We thought about that but the business has a lot of personal information on our customers that we like keep confidential. It would of been worthwhile though... so think best way is some sort of software out there is a decent kinda out there.
