 I had been following the topic "Let's talk OCR" over the past
 few weeks with some interest, but not saving it.  All of a 
 sudden it turned out that we got a grant of some money here
 at the University that we have to spend ***NOW*** (use it or
 lose it).  I have suggested, based purely on hearsay, that
 we buy an Apple Scanner and Omnipage in order to do OCR.
 Therefore I am very interested in hearing from anyone with
 comments on this combination, either pro or con so that we
 can go ahead with confidence, or avoid buying a loser.  We
 have in the neighborhood of 2 kilobucks.  Please E-Mail 
 me back comments directly as time is of the essence.  I will
 post a summary on the net if a consensus emerges.

 Thanks USENET!
