Data from scanner to spreadsheet

Anyone know of a means to perform the above action ? The file from scanner
is in the same columnar structure as the spreadsheet. Guidance as to whether this can even be done will be appreciated.

if you have ocr software u will be able to extract the text from the scanned documents. then you will be able to copy and paste the data into the spreadsheet.

even though the scanner file has the same structure it is difficult to directly scan and insert the data in one automated action.
