<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I know that it isn’t free, but most universities has copies available to staff. Adobe Acrobat Professional has features to do a decent job of OCR.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Maybe your faculty can get a university owned copy of the software. Just a suggestion.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
