  The HP Scanjet scanner is under $2000 (way under if you get a
discount). If ordered during March it includes a document feeder and OCR
software. The software does very poorly on typeset (proportional) fonts,
but quite well for typewritten fonts. Since the original question was
about entering typewritten info, this might be practical.
