Hi

I'm hoping to be able to convert some paper based word documents onto a more electronic mobile based form. Looking at i-auditor at the moment and that looks like something that could work. But does anyone have recommendations for any other app. Even one of the scan in your document type on a pc and upload it to a converter. although it's not a factor but the similar the iPad form could be to the current document the better ( Luddites at work ). But I could also use this opportunity to refresh the documents we use and p155 them off ( little pleasures).

Thanks for any assistance

"paper based word document"

A contradiction in terms?

You mean you want to scan a paper document and convert it to Word format?

Any number of OCR programs will do that with differing degrees of sucess depending on the complexity of the document content.

Try Foxit, ABBYY, Omnipage etc

I use Google Docs as I can edit spreadsheets and documents on my PC or on my phone and it all syncs up.
