Google OCR or optical character recognition. I'm not being evasive, I just don't know where else you'd look and I certainly don't know the answer. It's a very difficult thing to do and even the best OCR engines have an error rate of 1-3%. It sounds great, but that's on a per character basis. If you're scanning pages that have a few hundred characters such as a letter or bill then there's very little chance it will get through without at least one error.

It also depends on the format of your documents. If they're all the same you can set up templates(I think thats what they're called in the ocr world) and then your error rate is substantially lower. Some fonts are also easier to read than others.OP: Make google your home page.
