do you mean a program that converts words on appr into a text file? Yes, its called OCR, you can get some free software wiv all good new scanners, just look for OCR on cnet or somethin

I saw a couple on Cnet, can anyone reccomend a specific one? I might actually be interested in paying for it.

If i can be bothered to find my software for my scanner and u can be bothered to provide a host or somethin then id send u a free one from canon, every1 trusts canon right. :/ Ive only ever used the one so ive no idea about how good others are when ive not seen them.

Be careful though: these things are usually as accurate as Babelfish.

They aren't too bad, and editing is pretty easy.
