Documents in my office are scanned by staff to text searchable PDF. I
use Omnipage for OCR of image PDFs I receive from other offices or
courts. (I find it ironic that court rules in the California Appellate
Courts require us to file  text searchable PDfs but quite often the
court sends out image files.) VoiceDream Scanner and Seeing AI are
both very good products as well.

Our files are scanned in by secretaries. I use Abbyy FineReader to
convert the scans. I have also used Seeing AI in emergencies when I am
at the Magistrate, for example. I haven't had the chance to try
VoiceDream Scanner yet, but have only heard good things.
