– we have developed a good relationship with the local Kinko’s for
scanning and basic eText production. They have been great about working with in
the creation of accessible .pdf files and they have till now done a good job at
basic (raw) .doc/.rtf scans. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Bookman Old Style"'>However – over
the holidays their main system crashed and they lost the software they had been
using. Apparently it was an in-house modified version of something from Datec
(?). It was a few years old and was fantastic. Fast, accurate, and user friendly.
It is not only wiped from the system it was on – but no one at
Kinko’s knows where to find the original software or a replacement.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

Kinko’s is open tot the idea of something better than OmniPage 12 and my
