	Has anyone had a chance to play with the Logitec scanman
handheld image scanner? I have seen it at a couple of stores but
no one has taken it out of the box. From the labels on the box
the device will scan in image into a file in several different formats.
It looks like it will support a number of desktop publishers, and 
paint program formats. 

	What I would like to be able to do is scan in typed pages or
text from a book and then convert the scanned image into ascii text.
Are there any utilitys that come with scanman or work with scanman that
will do the bitmap image to text trasnlation? 

		thanks
