(The article in A+ doesn't say.) Is it good enough to capture printed text (say, normal magazine/newspaper size fonts) so that one might think of attempting character recognition on it? (Its so new it's probably futile to ask, but does anyone know if anyone has written the software to digitize text, recognize the characters, and convert it to ASCII?) TMPLee@DOCKMASTER.ARPA
