OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software desperately needed so I can scan several pages of typed notes into MS Word using my Hewlett Packard scanner. I need this urgently as I am trying to get some interviews I did 12 years ago into a Mac-friendly format (ie, I'm too lazy and unskilled to sit and retype them all!).

Please can anyone help? I've searched the net for some free downloads of Readiris and similar but found nothing that actually works. MUST be suitable for Mac OSX.

Thanks!

It's a Hewlett Packard Scanjet 4850, if that's any help!  Smiley
