Apple links OCR to HTML
Apple today unveiled the Apple Colour OneScanner 1200/30 (£555 + VAT), the first Macintosh scanner with direct hooks into HTML.
The OneScanner (£555 + VAT) supports 30-bit colour depth and recognises over one billion colours. It has a 600 x 1200 optical resolution and 4800 x 4800 interpolated resolution for scanning smaller areas. The device also supports transparency scanning with an optional transparent media adapter available for £345 + VAT. An optional document feeder costs £275 + VAT. The OneScanner 2.0 control software allows scanned text to be converted to HTML and embedded into a Web authoring application via drag and drop.
Bundled software includes ColorSync 2.1 colour matching software, Xerox's TextBridge 3.0 OCR package and Kai's Power Tools 3.0 SE.
