 After talking with a number of people, the general
 opinion of OmniPage with an Apple scanner is that it
 is a very workable package.  Unfortunately, it requires
 either a Mac II or an SE with accelerator board - plus
 4 Meg of memory.  We don't have one of the larger 
 machines available at this time to drive the software,
 so we are now thinking of using the Apple Scanner with
 either Read-IT! from Oldeuvi Software, or possibly
 Textscan from New Image.  I would greatly appreciate
 hearing from anyone who has experience with either of
 these packages.  I've seen the Read-it! review in
 Mac User, but have no information on Textscan at all.
 Again - many thanks to those who responded previously.
