Anyone know of a good OCR scanner? Because I'm looking for both. Some of the OCR software I have tried wasn't that good, so I'm looking to see if anyone has any experience with it and can suggest some hardware/software.

I use Textbridge, have done for some time it wernt to expensive and it works quite well (windows) I have also used Omnipage pro on Mac and that seems OK but I prefer Textbridge.

Have an HP scanner, the software that comes with it is decent for OCR.

MS Office, if you have it, has OCR in it too, it's decent as well.

Neither are great, but they work.
