Hi All:

        I tried XEROX's Text Bridge Pro but I've stuck with Caere's
OmmiPage Pro.
Even though they <just> now revved it for OS X. It's fast and fairly
good on clean copies. Typeset, laser printed, and simple fonts are
always the best - but the spell checker will catch most of the
garbage. You still have to proof it. Now if I could get a sheet
feeder for my HP scanner...

Regards,
James
