There is a government website that allows cheap (FREE!) OCR. Here are the steps:

1. Scan a tiff at 300DPI.
2. Run it through Photoshop's BRIGHTNESS +100% then CONTRAST +100%.
3. Blur the image.
4. Repeat the previous two steps between 2 and 5 times for maximum accuracy.
5. Now save the image as a bitmap (that's right, 2 color only!!!)
6. Upload it to http://docmorph.nlm.nih.gov/docmorph/
