Along these lines, I would like to know what sort of OCR systems (including
both software and hardware) are available. I am mainly interested in something
for PCs especially MS-DOS machines and Mac's, but anything would be okay. 
If you have something like this, I would like to hear from you, how much it 
cost, how hard it is to use, what kind of error rates you get, can you teach
it about special fonts, etc. If anyone else is interested, email me and I 
will send you a summary of the responses.
