I'd like to get a scanner that is good at doing OCR.  A typical application
would be scanning in a magazine article.  The text would normally not be
full-page, so a hand-scanner would work fine --- assuming that it could do
the OCR.  Error rate should be low and so should the cost if possible.
Ability to do graphics would be a neat bonus, but not really necessary.

Does anyone have suggestions on what scanners would be best for this type of 
application?
