Does anyone here have any experience with scanning printed forms and documents into searchable, editable text?

I would like to begin scanning a shelf full of printed material into electronic form so I can use and archive it as an electronic database.

I’m nervous about:
- its scanning accuracy
- compatability with generally accepted doc formats
- being able to import it into my outliner or PIM of choice.

Any comments and/or recommendations would be most welcome.

TIA

Jack
