Yesterday evening I had the opportunity to play with a image scanner and a
optical character recognition software package.  In the couple of hours
that I played, I was not able to produce even slightly acceptable results.

The scanner was a Princton Scanner.  The software was PC-OCR.  And the
documents were normal typewritten pages with only one typestyle on the page
(no mixed typestyles).  

Is there anyone out there who has experience with PC-OCR software and who
can offer some suggestions on how to set up the software.  

I can give more specifics if needed.

							Aloha,

								Jeff
