As synchonicity would have it, today we're setting up an e-ImageData ProScan 3000 microfilm scanner ( http://www.e-imagedata.com/ScanPro3000_Overview.html) for a two week trial. It comes with ABBYY Fine Reader for OCR. The goal is to digitize our microfilm collection. I'll report back on how the trial has gone in a couple of weeks, but in the meantime, feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
