Hi there: I'm curious to know: Can any scanner have OCR software added to
it? I have a Umax Astra 2200 and can't find anything about that in the
skimpy documentation I have. Thanks!

Bill, OCR software is really completely independent of the scanner 
itself.  The software simply "reads" the text from a graphic file and 
spits out the letters (in text format) it is able to make out.  The 
graphic file doesn't even have to be a file from a scanner, it could be 
anything with text on it.
