Hello,
I am looking for a fast cheap scanner that will scan in plain text well, and quickly. I do not care all that much about photo scanning. Also, what is the best OCR software out there. Almost all of the reviews I read focused on image quality and color depth, etc.-- features I do not really care about. Obviously I am looking for as cheap a solution as possible. Thanks for any and all help you can give.

A low-end scanner would do it for you. Notably, the Acer scanners are cheap and don't seem to perform too badly. As for OCR software, I use Omnipage Pro 11; it's fine by my standards.
