Scanned books to txt?

May 2014

Do you have any software in your arsenal that can do this?

Are you asking if GSA offers any software like this? I don't think so but you can take a look: http://www.gsa-online.de/products.php

Using scanned books to fill content on a website would be nice though. :P

Yes hahaha totally readable content, awesome

I'm sure this is possible. I'm sure there was something on BHW a few years ago. Unless maybe I'm getting mixed up with those that use Dragon Naturally Speaking and post what it hears onto their site. You could get a freelancer to do that I'm sure?

Few places to look at:

I've used it, back in my college days when I was scanning books/reports. It was a cool piece of software back then... and I guess now it's ten times better.

@s4nt0s I guess that's called copyright infringement

@kinglouie‌ - You can get public domain books and not have to worry about that

May 2014

Ooohh... that's a good one. Like from a library or?

May 2014

Just watch for OLD books or old newspapers, ask your grandma

May 2014

@kinglouie - Ha, I'm not sure really. I just know there is public domain content that is either created before copyright or where copyright has expired. Where to find it and if its very good, I'm not sure :P

I knew of a guy that had some type of scanners. I remember he mentioned they cost something like $350. Anyway, he has (had) a large content operation with Xrumer, and he was literally feeding his linkbuilding operation with content based on scanning books. I would have thought anyone that did something like that was insane, but this guys is a total blackhat pro. That's all I remember. As far as public domain, I think you can google that and get plenty of websites that have references to books that are free to pillage and plunder.

@ron - Pretty insane, but probably effective. I bet that guy has a ton of BH tricks up his sleeve. Sounds like a good guy to keep around

@cherub - Thanks
