Product: Photosmart 6525

I have an all-in-one Photosmart 6525 and I've been trying all morning to find out if it will scan a document so I can edit it. So far I have failed. I can't get my Omni software to recognize my scanner. Don't like it anyway. Tried Windows but there was no OCR option with that and so, what do people use?

Hi @Daulton1,

 

I'd like to help!

 

I understand you are trying to scan to editable text.

 

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software converts the letters in a scan original to an editable text file. Install the HP printer software package for Windows and Mac to use the feature, if available.

  1. Go to HP Software and Driver Downloads to install the driver and software.

  2. After completing the printer setup, open the scanning software to check if OCR scanning is supported.

    • Windows: Search Windows for your printer model name and number to open HP Printer Assistant. On the Scan tab, click Scan a Document or Photo to open HP Scan. Look for a Save as Editable Text (OCR) shortcut.

    • Mac: Open HP Easy Scan from your Applications list. Click the Scanner drop-down menu, and then select your printer. Scan a document, click Send, and then select Folder. Click the Format menu, and then find RTF or TXT.

  3. If these options are not available, your printer did not ship with OCR software. Contact a third-party OCR software vendor such as OmniPage, FineReader, or Readiris to see if your printer is compatible.

Hope this helps!
