Leading futurists and technology forecasters have long debated if a fully paperless society is on the horizon or a generation away. In the age where paperless culture is on the rise, how are traditional handwritten and printed documents ever going to compete? It seems a question of not if, but when will we all adopt a completely paperless working and personal life.

I am not sure, for example, how the word “score” got recognized as “scMe”. The results were not completely useless but included lots of errors words missing and words wrongly recognised or scrambled. This normally works OK but not this time. There are of course a million ways to do this and I recall that every multifunction printer used to come with an OCR facility but what is the easiest way now? For a while I’ve used Microsoft OneNote for this, you just paste in an image, right-click, and there is a Copy Text from Picture option: I was emailed an attachment scanned from a magazine it was a nuisance and I wanted to convert it to text.
