  Ive been using an HP ScanJet with the SPOT OCR package for about 2 years now.
I recently got the 3.0 package and love it.  Ive used it to read in magazines,
printouts (laser and dot matrix), news papers (but not recommened), and all
kinds of other stuff.  It is of the trainable variety and flexible enough to
recognize triplets.  The company that makes SPOT is Flagstaff Engineering in
Flagstaff AZ.  I dont have their address or # handy but you can get it from
most any PC magazine (general ones, not specific ones) or from directory
services.  I have no affiliation w/Flagstaff or HP apart from being a
very happy
customer (the tech support folks are really helpful when needed).
