[blindlaw] bulk scanners

Tue Apr 24 19:04:37 CDT 2007

Hi Lock,
I use AbbyyFineReader with my Fijitsu and for purposes of scanning, 
recognizing, and saving to various formats, it is very accessible as is. 
There are some advanced features of Abbyy that aren't really accessible, but 
those are beyond the scope of what I use it for.
