I'm looking for a Derek and the Dominoes boot I heard one night
on King Biscuit about 15 years ago with Dave Mason on second
guitar. Phee-nomenal.

| 54.5 | Scanner INFO needed | SLOHAN::FIELDS | Meowowowowow I'm Hungry ! | Tue Jul 21 1992 09:19 | 5 |
I'm looking for a scanner that after you scan in text you can edit the
text in some kind of format ! is there such a beast !

| 54.6 | yup. several. | SMURF::GRADY | Short arms, and deep pockets... | Tue Jul 21 1992 09:59 | 30 |
You need to be more specific. There are tons of scanners out there,
for PC's and even a couple for VAXstations.
For text only, you'll need a bitonal (black & white) scanner - the
cheapest kind - but don't expect to scan in anything but text and line
art - no shading or colors. On VAXstations you'll need the VAXimage
product(s), which generally require Motif as well. You'll also need
DCRS (Digital Character Recognition System) to translate images into
text. The last version I worked with last fall only output ascii text,
but a newer version is supposed to output a modifiable DDIF file. This
is much better, because a lot of text examples have more complex
formats than just plain ascii can handle. For example, most magazine
articles have two or more vertical columns of text, which plain old
ascii character recognition tends to blend into one, nonsensical line
of gibberish. Imbedded pictures and drawings can get in the way of
character recognition too, without a DDIF type output format.
PC's have cheaper scanners and software, unless of course, you're
getting it all internally, which is basically free. Our scanners are
called MD400 (bitonal), MD410 (greyscale, 300DPI) and there's a new color
scanner out, called a MDsomethinggreaterthan410 (450? 500? idunno).
Oh, yeah. Get tons of memory. Minimum on a VAXstation is 32MB, more
if you're going to do color, or even 300DPI greyscale. A PC will also
require a lot of memory, but not as much as a VAXstation. Scanners use
tons of memory - the finer the resolution the more memory.
Have fun. I hope this helps.

Chris, I know what hardware and software you have available, and also happen to be the only one whose ever used the MD300 that's attached to your cluster, so contact me offline... Fog | |||||
