Magazine covers?

[HTexan]

I've entered hundreds of articles, some using an OCR, some typed in by hand.  (the old Weider mags are on newsprint and don't scan well.  vintage S&H and Ironman can be done with an OCR.   new mags, with their color backgrounds don't scan well at all.)

I would think color backgrounds would scan well. I scanned old 35mm photos on a cheap scanner, and they look good.

Timo:

Going forward, please scan issues at higher resolutions.  In the future, schmoes will want to see every single muscle fiber possible! 

I think this is the first muscle mag I ever bought!  Ah, memories...

Do you really jack off the bb mags? Man, seriously go dl some porn. That's what the net is for.

OCR, optical character recognition, using a comptuer to automatically converting a scan into characters, sentences, paragraphs, etc., that you can then edit or search.

old magazines:  black characters on a white background, easy for an OCR to convert (if its on high quality paper, yellowed newsprint, not so easy)

new mags:  mix of black and white characters on various colored backgrounds, doesn't covert well at all
