Does there exist a OCR type program that will convert an IFF FAX file like GPFAX creates and give as output an ascii file containing the text in the FAX file? ._ _ _ INTERNET: mshea@math.arizona.edu | | |ichael _>hea COMPUSERVE: 76665,3360

Migraph's OCR software should do the trick. You would first use GPFax's FAX==>IFF menu conversion item, then run OCR on the resulting IFF. I've done it. You could automate this considerably with an AREXX macro.

I believe there is an OCR program available through Migraph that might do it. I don't know if it recognizes the IFF FAXX format though. // Christian – AP 1.77 \X/ Only Amiga Makes It Possible

I just checked, and Migraph OCR does not like GPFax files. If I remember, I'll see if ADPro can change formats. -ash Kyfho
