[Web4lib] Digitization of tables to spreadsheet

[Thomas Edelblute]

Can you export the table into a comma delimited file?  If so, I think
that the information should be importable into Excel.

Subject: [Web4lib] Digitization of tables to spreadsheet

Hello,

 

If I want to digitize tables of data into a spreadsheet, what would be
the best software to purchase?

Specifically, this is a box of legal-sized paper of with weather data
tables.

It would be nice to be able to set a template, scan and display in a
spreadsheet.

I did a quick web search and came up with a few possibilities, but I
thought maybe someone on this list would have some suggestions.

Thanks very much.
