Online OCR This is the best news for many of us that do not have a powerful scanner. This site will take documents that have been saved as a .pdf - something that our school scanner can do - and you can upload them to the site and it will make an editable copy of it for you!
If you want it to save it in a formats, like Excel or Word, you need to set up an account, but it is an easy process to get an account. This would allow you to keep the formatting in the document. There is a small fee for processing the files this way, but if you have a lot of work to do, it might be worth it!
Without signing in, you will have to reformat your document, but it seemed to be quick to get all the text in. The pages that I tested came out perfectly. I think this is a good site to know about.
