Hi all,
I have had a Umax scanner for while but am now beginning to use it for more practical purposes such as organizing my paperwork. Maybe someone can save me a whole lot of trial and error. What is the most efficient/viewable format to scan a text document like a bank statement? I will be storing them for the time being, on my hd so I don't want to take up a mega amount of space but I do want them to be easily readable.
I am using the Vistascan software that came with the scanner.
Thanks as usual for any suggestions.
Gary

I'm not familiar with the Vistascan software, but you should be able to use any OCR software to scan your text documents.. this way you'll be able to store lots of data on HD or CDRs. Personally I like TextBridge for OCR duty...
