Fax Tools for Outlook

This page includes tools for generating faxable documents, automatically printing them, and performing other fax functions including OCR.

OCR stands for "optical character recognition", the process of converting a fax or other graphic file into editable text. It works best on clean copy. Most current image editing software includes basic OCR capability.
