FaxReader does not perform OCR.  OCR can be performed from the services menu of  
the FaxReader application by using OCR Servant from HSD.  If anyone would like  
a free demonstration copy of OCR Servant along with a manual, make an email  
request and I'll send it to you by NeXTMail.  It's about a meg.  If you don't  
have NeXTMail, snail a self addressed stamped envelope with diskette.
