I am looking for information about hand-held scanners.  I would like the
following features:

 - Software to help "stitch" together two images (the Thunderware scanner
   is supposed to have this)
 - OCR recognition (the Complete PC half-page scanner is supposed to have
   this)
 - Image scanning and saving in TIFF format (Thunderware, Scanman: does
   Caere do this too, or just OCR?)
 - Image scanning in Postscript format (Complete PC half-page is supposed
   to do this...)

Anyone use any of these?
