What I recommend is that you make an effort to find the last couple
of months of MacWEEK magazines. There was a very good review of OCR
software, as welll as a couple of articles on scanners. If you want my
recommendation, I would suggest you look into the new HP Scanjet IIp and
OmniPage Direct. They were basically made for each other, and OmniPage
is consistently the top OCR software for the mac.
