I have some documents I am going to be scanning.
[...]
Questions:
a) What resolution should I use for these two things?
As high as available. (If you're tight on disk, I could see backing
off a bit, but storage will only get cheaper, and scans, once made,
will never get better.)
b) What OCR software do you recommend when I am
scanning a book that
has to be scanned 1 page at a time.
I have no recommendations, since I've never used OCR software; I'm
answering this point to point to the discussion in the archives about
what format to store scans in, since a number of the points made in
that thread apply here. (We _do_ have archives, I trust?)
