In which our heroine pines for technology she does not have

If anyone knows of a way to scan a document in and convert it to text instead of an image I would be grateful, oh so grateful.

How grateful?

Uhmmm, well I will mail you chocolate...or ah, a candy of your choice that I can easily obtain should you be so barbarian as to not actually like chocolate.... or some of my secret writings!

Because I am damn sick of editing and then having to go and re-type all those fucking edits into the comp. Plus I tend to get a variety of things scattered everywhere and trying to get them all on one page isn't easy. Also I am somewhat lazy you understand.

These edits are for the beginning of my story, which I normally wouldn't be trying to edit so soon (no end! aieeee!) but I am using it for a submission to a writers workshop I very much want to get into next year, so it needs to gleam like the gleamiest gleamy that ever did gleam. Yes.

Found the song for the end of the story. Have some lyrics in mind for certain other chapters as well. Had a couple of snippets from the next book demand I put them to paper so I did. heh was amusing. It's weird, technically I don't have all that much down, and yet I do. Enough that I have a decent enough handle on who my characters are so that when the new story practically starts with an argument, I chuckle to myself because the bickering and banter is just so them. Does this put me a little too close to crazy?

I go now. Have hot chocolate and edits to ponder. That is, I do not ponder the hot chocolate, only the edits. The hot chocolate I devour. Ravenously.

My scanner has an option to scan the document into editable text. Is that what you mean?

I don't know why or how I have that option though. Google this maybe for more help from people who understand technology slightly better than I do.

Oh and nice to see you back and blogging again. I hope things are less stressful now.

Hrmmmmm, I covet this option you have. Must find printer booklet....

Still it gives me something to go on so thank you!

It's good to be back. Thanks. :)
Heh, I swear that at birth some evil fairy godmother cursed me with the old saying "may you live in interesting times." One day, I'm going to find that fairy godmother...
