We use ScanSnap - S500M for the regular office use [I'd love the 1500 
for sure] and i have the S300M for portable use or when I just want 
to scan something.  With both comes Adobe Acrobat [I think 8 
Standard, but don't recall] and it has a pretty good OCR engine. 
Also, there is software, CardIris that comes with it [I think] and it 
is what is useful for moving card info into useful format for 
AddressBook.  I haven't used it.  Neither are flatbed scanners so 
they wouldn't help with your film scanning, but i was able to put 
photographs in them and they scanned just fine.
