Dear Knowledgeable Reader,

Having got a new computer that will OCR a page without giving me time to make a cup of tea while it is doing it, I now of course want more …

So, does anyone know of an OCR or related programme that will scan text from a succession of pages into the one file, rather than creating one page per file that then needs to be pasted together?

After decades of killing far too many trees with photocopying, I’m now trying to go for genuinely paperless note-taking, which is now just about possible. (Well except in the British Library, which still bans scanners and cameras.) And with Google Desktop it has enormous possibilities for information access.
