For what it’s worth, I just scanned a text document I created with both black and colored text on my Brother MFC J485CW scanner at 200 x 200 resolution, 24 bit color. I scanned it to a .docx file. I opened the .docx file and the document text had scanned perfectly, but there were formatting errors. Specifically, line and paragraph spacing were missing, and one line of text was not complete, but the entire document was usable with minor editing. On a retry I reopened the scanned document and it came out perfect – line feeds were correct and the color text was where it should be. It may take some playing around to get it correct, but it appears that the Brother printer has an excellent OCR capability built in.
The original document was clean and had been prepared using LibreOffice/Writer/Ariel/12 point and after scanning, was saved in .odt format.
