One other thing I don't think anyone has mentioned is the high cost of
quality OCR software - I believe the Omnipage 10 package we now use,
which is a leader in the field, costs well in excess of £500. You could get
quite a few cards re-typed for that sort of money.
Otherwise, I too have used OCR for over ten years, on and off, and I
agree with all the previous comments.
