Googling around I have discovered that GOCR is still alive, and that Google (the place I would like to have spent my career if I could go back and start over!) is distributing Tesseract. both are cmd-line driven and seem well worth a look and a sniff.
Point well taken about the embedded-machine aspect (using a windoze laptop or palmtop as a controller, like the msdos machines that still run many CNC mills). I just don't have a few hundred bux to throw at the project; hoping to do it on the cheap with what I already have (Leopard, a laptop, a digicam, and coding skills).
thanks for the thread! I hope some more folks will pop up and explain their own personal scanning/ocring setups.
