As such they may be in need of more than simple page scanning, which =20
are nothing more that photographs of the page. They may also need to =20
have those documents be accessible. This means OCR of the documents.
As musch as I love the Mac and I use it all the time. For OCR work =20
Windows is the platform of choice with Abbyy Fine Reader. On the Mac =20
platform Kurzweil 3000 is great but expensive.
There are organizations that will do this work for you if you are in =20
