Attn Dreamers: Please help with O.C.R. System

I need to build an Optical Character Recognition workstation so my secretaries can scan pages of a contract into a file, and then modify the text with their word processors as they see fit. I was thinking of a high quality flatbed scanner with a good sheet feeder attached to a good Pentium with SCSI or USB. I'll maybe use OCR software like PageKeeper, etc. Any suggestions as to specific Scanner Models, Workstation requirements, and OCR Software solutions would be greatly appreciated. I am obviously researching this on my own to come up with several solutions, but I'm interested in hearing from someone who already went thru this, and found a mix of hardware and software that really helps.
