Newsgroups: comp.ai Subject: Do ASCII scanners exist? Message-ID: <49716@bsu-ucs.uucp> Date: 26 Nov 90 11:40:51 GMT Organization: Ball State University, Muncie, In - Univ. Computing Svc's Lines: 12 I'm curious whether there exist scanners on the market that actually convert the bitmap information they receive into an ASCII format. I have my ideas on how this could be accomplished, but it seems like Artificial Intelligence is something that could pose a solution to this sort of problem. Thanx in advance, Leslie Ramer : (Junior) Computer Science Major : Ball State University, Muncie, IN 00LHRAMER@BSUVAX1.BITNET
