hello netters,

We are trying to put together a PC system capable of scanning and recognizing
potentially large volumes of text. Everything from lengthy committe
proposals to magazine articles to books are likely to be input. We also 
need the system to scan in color graphics occasionally.

We think using caere omnipage pro 2.1 with a microtek 600dpi flatbed
color scanner looks like the best way to accomplish this.

If anyone has any experience in this area and would like to offer
an opinion we would greatly appreciate it.

If anyone has any experience using automatic sheet feeders with OCR
packages we would appreciate hearing about it. We are concerned that
the sheet feeders may not align forms well enough for the OCR package.

Thank you for you help!!!

regards,

tbr
