I'm looking for information/advice/recommendations on a text/OCR scanner
for use with a PC compatible system in an mid-sized (~50 employees)
engineering consulting company. I have found the following products
are available locally:
Princeton LS-300
Canon IX-12
Dest PC Scan 2000
I've also checked out the rather expensive Kurzweil Discover 7320, which
I understand is the cheapest scanner that handles typeset or even propor-
tionally spaced text and recogizes virtually any font. Is it's performance
really that much better to justify the cost? While graphics scanning might
be of some use, the main interest is in text. Thanks for any info.
