Back To School

June 4, 2011

It was raining again yesterday so my sister and I cancelled our plans to have a hot oil treatment at a salon near us. Instead of sleeping, I browsed online for the prices of things needed by my youngest sister (who is the only one in the family left who goes to school). We’ve been needing a new scanner (the old one broke down a while back), and was comparing brands when I stumbled upon the OCR software.

It’s the first time I have heard of it but I learned it’s a software that converts your scanned images to easily editable text format. How cool is that? I wish I knew this when I was still schooling. It would have saved me some time from copying school notes. I’m not sure if my sister in school will need this, since she’s just in Grade Five, but it pays to know the tools we can use to make life easier.

I know that when Svetlana starts to attend school, there will be more and more high-technology products in the market to make her studying more convenient for her. I wish by then I could provide her with everything she needs and more. I’m looking forward to her actually going to school, but I can’t say I’m too eager about the tuition fees that will surely break our bank.

Back again to your blog. Lately, I’m having some troubles with my computer, I already have another one, but can’t stopping using the old one. So silly !

Well actually we also changes our plans today because of the rain.

I had five years ago something which looks like the OCR you’re talking about. At that time I was in Paris and I use it a lot and thanks to this method, I litteraly had five of favorites books on my computer at that time.

You remind me of something good and I’m gonna check to bought a new one.

Have a nice sunday
