I'm looking for a program or plugin that will allow me to scan pages
of text (such as from a book) into ASCII that I can manipulate in a
text editor. My scanning software is Visioneer, my platform Win98.

Any suggestions?

hi,
my suggestion is TextBridge - http://www.textbridge.com/products/tbpmill/ ,
its the best program; but there is not a demo version to download. a other
program is Readiris Pro 6 -
http://www.irislink.com/Comm/Demo/Readiris/uk.html . i dont know how good it
will work, but the url is the link to the download page of a 30 days trail
version.

Yeah, Textbridge came with my scanner, and it does a decent job of it.
