Scanners..
Years and years ago, right after flatbed scanners hit the market, my husband bought me an HP Scanjet 5300C. When he had asked what I wanted I told him just make sure it had OCR. Well it did and it's great.
After trying several ways to scan, i.e, to pdf, or page by page to my word processor (I use Word Perfect) I found the easiest way was to drag and drop the scanned image, making sure it was in Text form not image form, onto my WP. The scanner uses it's OCR to convert before dropping onto my WP and I put the whole book in one file.
However when I needed a new printer (about every other year) I bought a all-in-one with scanner. (Epson Stylus) Though it does multipage PDF's, it does not do OCR.
So be warned to verify scanner have OCR.
