I also think $100 is cheap, if the scan is good.

Last Monday Abbyy Reader’s $99 special ended.  I think they are pretty good at 
OCR.

If you don’t like Fedex’s OCR, but you have the scanned images, I’d stuff them 
into my Tesseract OCR for a second opinion.  I’ve had been trying to OCR some 
truly dreadful images of WPA typewritten reports on onionskin paper for the NM 
Library as a volunteer.
