No more need for computers. Typewriters are back and editable! Thanks to OCR


Now, no one like typing on a computer. Do they?
No, I doubt it, it's boring as batshit.
There's no love in the keys, there's no feedback, and it's just no fun.

NOW, the reason we don't use typewriters anymore seem pretty obvious don't they?
YOU CAN'T EDIT anything....
Well, those days are gone. Go to the cupboard or ebay and get out or buy the old typewriter.
You have enjoy typing once again!

THIS IS HOW IT GOES.

Type yourself silly, having the time of your life on your favourite old typewriter.
When you're done, take a photo of the page.
3. Send or download the picture to your computer.
4. Open OneNOte and drag the picture into it.
5. Right click the image and press COPY TEXT FROM IMAGE
6. You text is then ready to paste into Word or whatever you like, ready for editing.

This is how I do it.
I type
I photograph with mobile phone Nokia N95 8GB
Send pic by bluetooth to laptop: XPS M1330
Drag pic into OneNote
right click and paste into word.
DONE

AMAZING ISN'T IT?

OCR, by the by, means Optical Character Recognition
and people pay hundreds of dollars for it. If you have Microsoft Office already then you already have OCR
FOR FREE.

COMPUTER KEYBOARDS SUCK!
