List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Ocr Shop might be a nice program and is priced on the same level as most cots ocr packages accept for something like Openbook which is very expensive. However, Oct Shop is much more easily configured on a RedHat or perhaps Debian box or a distro that uses that flavor of configuration. I found it quite frankly to be a bitch to setup. I never did determine how well it worked, but if you want to spend the money, I think you'll find it to be a good program.
