Our department is considering the purchase of a character scanner to use
with Mac Pluses and Mac IIs. We need information about the hardware and
software required to read a variety of typefaces and styles. The only
advertisement I have seen is for the DEST PC Scan, but I am sure it is not
the only one. Any information would be appreciated, including advice
to wait and see what will come out soon. Remarks from those with
actual experience with a character scanner would particularly welcome.
E-mail is preferred and I shall summarise if there are sufficient
responses. Thanks.
