HI, Owen, I looking at Fujitu and either laser master or cofax cards. Any preferences? How are you using the scanner? tnx --------------------------------------Based on my experience, which has been with PC based systems and not UNIX or Mac, is that you pick the software first, then the scanner. Most of today's scanners are SCSI and TWAIN complient, so the choice is made on price and features. The two companies who are best known in the OCR arena are Caerre (probably spelled wrong, but pronounced Care) and Calerra. These two are now one. I have had a lot of positive experiences with Fujitsu and Bell & Howell scanners in a high volume environment and very little experience in the sub $2,000 range.
Owen.
