2009/8/27-9/9 [Computer/SW/OS/OsX] UID:53304 Activity:nil | 8/26 Any suggestions on a good OCR program for either OS X or Windows that
will work on scanned documents outputted to pdf? Preferably free?
Thanks, scottyg
\_ Check Abbyy or Scansoft. Not free.
\_ Thanks...I think I'd prefer a free or opensource piece of
software unless there is a huge difference in quality. I

2007/5/4-7 [Computer/SW/Virus] UID:46529 Activity:nil | 5k4 ClamWin vs. Active Virus Shield. Which one is better? My company is
using ClamWin, and I know Active Virus Shield has real-time scanning
while ClamWin doesn't. But other than this, does one scan better than
the other? Thanks.
\_ Kaspersky (AVS) has more frequent updates, and real-time
protection (not just scanning) is a big benefit especially in

2006/4/24-26 [Computer/SW/Languages/Misc] UID:42812 Activity:nil | 4/24 I finally got to scan some of the old photos for archive purpose.
The problem is these scanned photos carry no EXIF data. I want
to add 'Date Picture Taken' information en masse. I tried several
tools that claim to do EXIF batch update but none could batch
insert 'Date Picture Taken' information. Does anyone have any
suggestion for a batch EXIF editor? Thx.

2006/1/30-2/1 [Computer/HW/Scanner] UID:41599 Activity:low | 1/30 We have a lot of photos (4x6 and 5x7) that we'd like to scan and
turn them into jpeg files. We have misplaced the negatives for most
of them. What's the fastest way of doing this other than scanning
with a flat bed scanner one photo at a time? Are there scanners
that you can feed a stack of 4x6s or 5x7s and it'll scan them
automatically? Thanks.

2006/1/4-6 [Computer/HW/Scanner, Computer/SW/Virus] UID:41232 Activity:nil | 1/4 There was a short thread about AV scanners for Windows recently-
someone asked "Hmmm, getting my AV ware from dodgy people?" --
No, that was not the implication--I just said that many people
"in the know" are pretty sure that Kaspersky has good connections
to people who write viruses, and get some inside info from them.
This is not to imply that they in any way commission or endorse

2005/11/28-30 [Consumer/CellPhone, Computer/HW/Scanner] UID:40737 Activity:low | 11/28 Does anyone here have any experience with reading bar codes from
cell phone displays? Can be any encoding mechanism (semacode, etc.)
I'm mainly interested in whether most cell phones allow reading with
conventional laser scanners or require some sort of weird optical
contrast <DEAD>scanner--mticket.net<DEAD> is an example of how this is done, but
I haven't been able to figure out the actual scanning tech. -John

2005/9/6-7 [Computer/SW/OS/Linux, Computer/SW/OS/Windows] UID:39528 Activity:nil | 9/6 Has anyone worked with data archival software? Our microfilm scanner
still works but the printer has died (it's 30 years old). We're looking
at replacing microfilm with a digital system. I'm a luddite, so this
seems like a pretty bad idea to me, but I'm told to see what's out
there. So I guess I need a decent scanner and document feeder and
maybe some non-consumer software to create PDFs of what is scanned in.
