      Yes, there is such program available for HP SCANJET.  The name
      skips my mind, but I am sure anywhere you lookup a scanjet, they
      should point out the available OCR as well as Graphic packages
      that you may use with HP Scanjet.

      The graphic scanner, by the way, scans at a resolution of 300 x 300
      and producessome impressive images.  The image we scanned was a
      color photograph of a group of 50 people.  You could pretty much
      recognize the faces in the black and white print of the scanned
      image.  (It took 3+ minutes to print!, and the storage requirements
      are substantial, can go up to 3 meg per image).

      With the OCR, you're able to scan a letter, statement, etc. and
      then modify the scanned text with any word processor.  Depending
      on the clarity and crispness of the original text, you may
      reach 100% accuracy through OCR.
