I did end up ordering the book through this website. It was a bit of a challenge ordering on a German website but after a few failures I made it. Google Translate surely is a great tool. I’m sure a German book will be a challenge, there should be a program where you can scan a page and it will pull off the words to translate but fear I’m going to do a lot of typing. Lol

Just got a email in German saying my book is shipped, good sign.

Anyone ever use these type of programs to scan printing and the the program puts it into computer text? Seems it’s possible?

“Optical character recognition, or OCR, is a widespread technology that allows you to scan documents and turn them into editable soft copy documents that you can then easily edit. Plenty of software makers offer OCR, such as Adobe OCR. Microsoft is one of those software makers.”

There's ocr in Adobe Acrobat Pro. I've used it. It does work but I had problems with a lot of ocr errors. Fortunately, most of the german I want to read is covered in Google Books; which has an amazingly good ocr engine.

There are quite a few IPad apps that are ocr scanners? Be interesting to see how well they work.

I've seen those but have never used one. Usually, when no ocr text is available, I end up typing it in. In the end, I found that searching for the ocr errors took more time than just doing it manually.

Well, I made it through the German Book Dealers internet site and 3 weeks later my book from Germany arrive. Very detailed lots of pictures and patent drawings. Many German airguns I never knew existed. Information on the Tell 3 model 75. Lots of info on East German guns made after the war.
