ST Imaging (ST) , a  provider of digital microfilm and book scanning technology, has released a new version of its ViewScan software that includes ST OCR Searchable Text Tools.

The new tool converts images into searchable text which makes it easier to find and share the history within.

The text recognition solution works both inside and beyond the ST ViewScan Microfilm Scanner Software program, and provides multiple tools for creating searchable text from images. This includes converting while viewing live microfilm images before scanning, as well as automatically converting any saved images before saving them as a multi-page searchable PDF document.

Images previously saved from any scanner or photo image file can also be converted to searchable text.

ST OCR Searchable Text Tools include an unlimited license so you can convert as many images as you want without additional royalties, subscriptions, or fees.

With the ViewScan system you can Collect, View, Organize, Edit, OCR, and Save your selected images to Searchable PDF and other text and graphic formats and share them with the world.
