This procedure is called OCR Optical Character Recognition. Normally the
Software that comes with the Scanner already has some version of OCR Software
included. You can also buy heavy-duty OCR Software it you'll be doing allot of
this. The Quality of the Recognition depends on how good the Software is and how
good your Copy is.

I ran across a program quite some time ago that when you scanned text it
would be editable. Does anyone know of such a progam?

I have a stack of documents that I need to input and scanning them to be
transferred to a text program would save me a ton of time.
