    MP 5054 gas an option for OCR scanning that can be added for a price.

    MP 5002 cab scan to OCR using TWAIN or WIA scanning and appropriate software.

    It's been mentioned here on CTN many times before, but I will do it again.

    While OCR is optionally available for some models, (as Slim and Terramobil mentioned), it is PAINFULLY S-L-O-W compared to any quality OCR software.

    That may be improving on the newer machines (due to better and faster processors), but I have serious doubts about that being the case.
