    I am looking for information about OCR-products for reading standard
    typewritten documents (business mail etc.).

Primarily:
    -Complete OCR's. Manufactured by? Experiences? Limitations? Pricing?
    -OCR software: Host system? Delivered by? Experiences?
     Limitations? Pricing?
    -Scanner products? HW/SW-interface to what systems?
     Experiences? Limitations? Pricing?

    Until now, I have found the following products:

    Complete OCR's: Kurzweil,Hendrix,Totec,Dest,Oberon,Caere.
    Scanners (with OCR-SW): Dest,Laserfax,Datacopy,EIT.
    Scanners: Microtek,Thunderware.
 
    None of the above mentioned products are intended for the UNIX-market
    (except the general-purpose complete OCR's, of course).

Please send any hint, comments etc to

and not to me. Thanks Much.
