Scan and Read Software


Scanning and reading software involves a process that converts an image of text, a paper document, and converts it to an editable text on the computer also known as optical character recognition (OCR).  Individuals who have print disabilities such as those who have difficulty reading paper based information due to dyslexia, visual impairment, learning difficulties or those whose physical impairments prevent them from handling and reading the printed word can benefit from having material scanned into the computer” (SNOW, 2013).
