IT sounds like from my recent readings that the fujisu scanners are well liked by the OCR manufactures of Mac software.
I have been playing around with devInc pro office which is a paperless office solution which costs about $150. It uses Abby as its OCR engine, but can automate with any scanner that Image Capture works with. THere are also special notes about fujitsu. Also Mac Update today has a "paperless" solution inclculding support for OCR off a fujitsu printer. I didn't take time to look at the package, but mostly I think you can demo the software that MacUpdate sells. If you can't find the offer write me at jonc...@cox.net and I will forward you the flyer.
