What is a good OCR solution for a Mac?
Omnipage Pro is an excellent choice, but I've found Abby Finereader to be better for my applications. However, only Omnipage offers a Mac version. By the way, the program costs $500, or you can buy the upgrade version for $150. This means if you have any licsenced ocr software, no matter what brand, they will give you their full version at the discounted price.
As for scanners, they are all get the same results to my un-technical eye, just some do it faster or easier.
Also, consider a digital camera for scanning. See http://snapter.atiz.com/ and http://www.atiz.com/ for various applications. Omnipage specifically supports this.

Software for Mac?
You need an OCR program to convert scanned text into normal text on a computer. However, even the best OCR programs struggle with hand-written text: they are really designed for typed text.
If you want to give it a try then there's OmniPage Pro or ReadIris. They both have very strong OCR engines, although the actual software is pretty badly designed usability wise.
