Hi,
        I am interested in manuscripts preservations. For the purpose, one
of the ways I am considering is to scan them and then do OCR of it. They
are not in good shape and are in Devanagari script (an Indian script). I
offhand don't know but size of each varies from 30 - 50 inches X 20 -25
inches. I want a scanner which is best for OCR type of work for these.
Please, if you could advise me which one to look for and also what
features, I would highly appreciate it.
Thanks,

Bye, Vineet
