I'm waiting for the Typist II.  (And, no, I haven't heard a thing from
Caere about it.  It just seems logical.)

Apparently, the OCR is flat-out wonderful.  The problem is graphics...
all it knows about is 300-dpi 1-bit TIFF.  No greyscale, no 72-dpi
option (to save disk space), no nothing.  So, it's probably adequate
for line art but impossible for photographs.

If they'd fix that, I'd own one today.
