I got a once in a lifetime (so far) request from a client to scan in a handful of pages from a book and convert it to a Word doc so he can edit it.

My scanner does not have OCR software. I do not seem to find it in any program I have. Are there any suggestions? Does anyone know of free or demo OCR software for the Mac that I could use for this one job?

Or?
