How accurate is Office XP's program in reality? I've found that many scanners come with what they call an OCR program, but they tend not to be very accurate. Does Office XP's work with regular computer documents? What about hand-outs, magazine articles, etc. ?

Thanks!

Alan,

Office XP has a built in OCR. You could also consider Fine Reader.
