I suggest you get some advice from your professor, that's his job. If this is your final project and you have a choice to switch, I suggest you do that. This is going to be a pretty tough project to undertake. If you choose to continue, good luck. Remember, google is your friend. If you have specific questions or problem areas, ask here.

Don't expect people to do your assignment for you. ASk your teacher for help, that is what he's there for.

You will need to look into Optical Character Recognition (OCR).

first of all have u tried google for this question. if not that's bad. u must understand the way of searching. ok now your answer. now its up to u how will u take this... best of luck. Dim Doc1 As New MODI.Document Dim inputFile As String = "C:\test\multipage.tif" Doc1.Create(inputFile) Doc1.OCR() ' this will ocr all pages of a multi-page tiff file Doc1.Save() ' this will save the deskewed reoriented images, and the OCR text, back to the inputFile Dim strRecText As String = "" For imageCounter As Integer = 0 To (Doc1.Images.Count - 1) ' work your way through each page of results strRecText &= Doc1.Images(imageCounter).Layout.Text ' this puts the ocr results into a string Next File.AppendAllText("C:\test\testmodi.txt", strRecText) ' write the OCR file out to disk Doc1.Close() ' clean up Doc1 = Nothing
