I would strongly suggest, that you try the Typist with the sort of material you
will be scanning. The Typist has its strengths and weaknesses and recognition
of fuzzy documents is definately not a strenth. Multicolumn text is also much
harder then with for example the Scanjet+ and Omnipage. Then again the Typist 
is really nice, if you have to for example quote short exerpts of text into
your document.
