OCR is better than it used to be. The trick is to bring in your text at 
maximum possible resolution and then load it up in Text Editor to see 
where it messed up (look for red squiggles). I can't remember the name 
of the OCR software that came with our HP scanner (I also forget the 
model number, but it's the one you can stand up on one side & use that 
way if you like, and it has a slide scanner attachment). We got it at 
the Apple Store.
