That's for hand written scans, I had printed a document and now I want to scann it and select certain text, is that possible

Actually OCR doesn't manage hand written text too well, the software under the link in the previous post is for printed documents.
By the way, if You have printed that document from your computer why not just open it in Word and select the text you want in the document?

It wasn't printed on my computer.
