The company I'm working with is interested in a high-end scanning system which will provide fast OCR as well as image scanning. The Calera CDP 9000 is promising, but for a round total of $40K or so (with workstation) it seems to only offer black&white scans at 300 dpi. A scanner with higher resolution and/or grayscale or color would be preferred. Does anyone with experience in this area have any recommendations or pointers to companies which have models in this arena? We're talking about a system which would ultimately serve an entire plant if possible, with someone working constantly doing OCR and image scanning for people in various departments. We'd also like to find something which has a chance of working with the Calera TopScan Professional interface card. We use that with the Hewlett- Packard ScanJet Plus as a solution on a smaller scale. Thanks for any info, PLEASE e-mail as I cannot read regularly. -- Kevin Martin sigma@ipl.rpi.edu "Can I kiss one of the bridesmaids instead?"

At the Exponent (University of Alabama, Huntsville, newspaper) we use the ScanJet with excellent results when scanning B&W pictures and line drawings. We do use it to scan text, but do not do OCR as we are just pasting the text onto a newspaper page. -- <<<<<<<<<<<Scott Hinckley<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>VW&Apple][Forever!!!>>>>>>>>>> Internet:scott@hsvaic.boeing.com | UUCP:...!uw-beaver!bcsaic!hsvaic!scott DISCLAIMER: All contained herein are my opinions, they do not|+1 205 461 2073 represent the opinions or feelings of Boeing or its management| BTN:461-2073
