Thanks for clarification on (OCR-Optical Character Recognition) software;
another question--
Are Adobe or Corel considered as OCR software that could
be used to scan in text/images appearing on the same
document? Might these be included as a
package when one purchases
a scanner?

P.S. Happy to hear that the "Freeway Flyer" has finally landed.
Congratulations!!!
