The only product I know of is OmniPage by Caere Corporation.
They got a VERY nice article (not quite a review) in MacWeek (Aug. 16,
1988 issue).

This package retails for $795.  An IBM version will retail for around
$2,000.  This is because it is packaged with a 68000 board.

The company's address is below.

			Caere Corporation
			100 Cooper Court
			Los Gatos, CA  95030
			(408) 395-7000
			(800) 535-SCAN
