We've just got a 300 DPI scanner that can read in 8.5 by 11" pages, and
store the bitmap (in Sun rasterfile format) on disk.  People here would save
quite some time if they could use it to read in text, instead of typing it
in.  Has anyone in Netland heard of, or using, programs to convert bitmaps
to text?  This wheel doesn't bear re-inventing.

Please reply to

If I get enough "me too" requests (and at least one reference :-) ), I'll
post a summary.
			Thank you,
