My Physics teacher uses ABBBY FineReader and he seems to be quite pleased with it. U can get it here. Its trialware so u'll have to buy it though.

As u can see, its pretty well rated on download.com as well, so it has to be a good product.

I vote for ABBY soft fine reader
if you want to hear the scanned text try omnipage ,but it is a little glitchy
ABBY converts 98 % of my stuff ,without hassel ,right to editable text

True but it costs 300 bucks dude, which is not a very small sum of money.
