What software is available to scan a document and save it as a text file?
Kind of like when we used to have typewriters, we could put the preprinted
form in the typewriter and insert the data where needed.

I can do my own google search thank you.

Thought maybe I could save a few hours of looking this way.

Found one called simpleocr. Might work for what I need.
The trick is, to print it nearly as exactly as the original.
