Keywords: fax ocr scan unix Message-ID: <1991Apr09.225759.21038@scuzzy.in-berlin.de> Date: 9 Apr 91 22:57:59 GMT Organization: Contributed Software Lines: 44 well, some weeks ago i asked for a fax / scanning / OCR solution for UNIX machines. there weren't much replies, most were "me too" mails. only two were informative. anyway, here's what i got: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From: dionj@netcom.com (Dion Johnson) Subject: Re: NEED: fax + scanner + OCR hard/software for unix Caere Corp of Los Gatos CA has a pretty nice OCR package for SCO UNIX. I will dig up their address for you at work and send. There is a fax package I like for SCO by George Pajari of Faximum. Try ...uunet!faximum!pajari ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Beverly Erlebacher i just got some sales literature for a product that might be what you want. it's a scanner that connects via serial or scsi port, and does ocr and fax in the scanner (which has a 68020 chip). It has a character and an X Windows interface. it is called the "Unix Scanner" and is sold by Intelligent Optics Corporation 22 Pequot Park Road P.O. Box 910 Westbrook, CT 06498-0910 U.S.A. phone (203) 399-7111 fax (203) 399-7137 All I know about it is what I "scanned" from the sales lit... :-) I'd appreciate it if you would share the responses you get with me. We are mostly interested in scanning and ocr rather than fax. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- i've send a fax to the latter company, but haven't got anything back yet. -- Heiko Blume <-+-> src@scuzzy.in-berlin.de <-+-> (+49 30) 691 88 93 [voice!] public UNIX source archive [HST V.42bis]: scuzzy Any ACU,f 38400 6919520 gin:--gin: nuucp sword: nuucp uucp scuzzy!/src/README /your/home
