I know that this is a bit of a cheeky answer but from what I've seen
thus far, the best damn way you can <smile>
After you've scanned a few bills, you'll get used to how Read Iris
scans the information.

Ok, the more technically minded on this list could probably give
you more information on the compatible scanners question but I can
only say that I have a Canon scanner here which I purchased 2
years ago and it came with mac drivers for os10, I wasn't using a
Mac at that point but I am now and I've had no trouble installing it.
Read Iris will easily do what you want though you may strike some
formatting issues with multiple column bills.

What I want to do with a scanner is just to check my mail. First,
are most scanners Mac compatible? Second, would Iris be good
enough for reading bills and things like that?

I've been reviewing ReadIRIS version 11.05 for IRIS for Voice over
compatibliity. So far it look to be not bad. In particular if you put
it into automatic mode. (command T). They have a ways to go with
getting he menued buttons working but everything you can do with
those
you can do with the menus do it isn't a deal killer.
No Applescript support so I can't write a reading interface for it
yet
bu if your looking for a decnet OCR program it is work looking into.
