Your advice has been taken.

Epson WorkForce WF-2630

Prints just fine via WiFi.

At this moment, I can't make it scan across the WiFi connection, which is the one and only reason I bought it.

Anyway, $95 is not bad, well, if it works. I remember seeing something about a requirement to turn the whole system off after installing some of the software; no clue what they're doing. Epson is supposed to have some pretty good OCR, so I hope your advice and my action were both good.

The character recognition software can be found in the support section of the Epson website related to your printer. I chose a wf7610 that allows scanning and printing of A3 size documents.

The difficult may take time, the impossible a little longer.

Got it. Bugs worked out over here; IP address confusion, and clarification with their tech support about where the buttons to click are located.

Interesting, Just being able to see the cards, large, on my screen, seems to be almost as much a time-saver as the cut and paste thing. The OCR is good, but not quite human.

Super tiny fonts are clearly a part of that problem.

By the time you have researched it, bought and paid for it, set it up, fiddled around to get it working right you could have typed them all in! Laugh | :laugh:

That is not the software way... a software engineer will spend 5 hours writing a program to automate something that would take him (her) an hour to do manually.

Clearly you are new here.

Aah, but he'll win in the long run. If he decided to automate, the thing that takes him an hour would surely be a thing that he'll have to do on a regular bases, or at least once in a while. What the script will ensure is that he does it the same way every time, producing the same output . The script will also ensure that he doesn't forget how to do it... and, that if he leaves the company the next person will know how to do it. He's scripting skills will improve which will reduce the time he spends writing his next script. He will build a source code base, which will also reduce the time he spends writing his next script.

Actually, I am estimating a 50 to 60 hour job.

That would be pure time.

With easily predicted interruptions, this task (which I have prioritized as the #1 item) will never get done by human effort.

Big factor: my eyes are so farsighted that I can't even focus on the stars in the sky.

The probability of human error is like the calculus definition of "the limit" which in this case equals 1.

Absolutely !

When I get rich, that's high on the list of things to have.

I told the guy at the front door of Best Buy what I'm trying to do, and that's exactly how he responded; and hooked me up with a guy on the floor who took me right to those things.

How would you like to insert your private member into an object?

Take photos of the cards with your phone and upload them somewhere. Then set up a job on Amazon Mechanical Turk or one of many other piecemeal work websites and offer 3 cents per card.

That adds new meaning to the term "clean compile".
