[comp.sys.mac] character scanners for the Mac+/Mac SE/Mac II

simon@alberta.UUCP (Simon Tortike) (10/20/87)

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.
