Re: scanner software

[Jonathan Wolfe <jwolfe@graphics.lcs.mit.edu>]

The package in question might be ScanSoft's OmniPage (which I believe
uses the same engine as the Linux software from Vividata we were
planning to use).  It runs on windows and mac, costs $600.

They don't seem to have a downloadable demo, however.
