Recommended: HP ScanJet. Comes with OCR and software for managing scan results and filtering them through other pograms, such as Photoshop, Word, etc. I've had good luck with mine at work. Make sure you get one that can hook up to your computer, as the design of connections is currently migrating to USB from SCSI and the plugs and leads are entirely different, as is the driver software. I have no vested interest in this recommendation, BTW.
