[comp.text] OCR/Scanner Data Wanted

jost@ridley.coyote.trw.com (Patrick Jost) (04/24/91)

I'm looking for recommendations for high quality OCRs, OCR software and
document scanners...I've called a few vendors, but get the standard
marketing pitch...I'm interested in what people have really done with
these things, and what they do and do not like. I'm interested in units
that work with Sun, IBM-PC, Mac and similar platforms.


Thanks...if anyone wants a summary, let me know...
