Hi Caroline,

Two words for you.  OpticBook 3600.  It is a fantastic scanner.  It is
expensive, but it has a book edge, which means you can easily scan
paperbacks, and it gets right to the spine.  And at nine seconds a scan pass
over a page, it is darned fast too.

All the best

Steve

Subject: [access-uk] New Scanner For OpenBook

Hello,

I have been using an Epson Perfection 1660 with OpenBook 7 for several
years.  The scanner now needs to be replaced, and I would be interested to
know whether anyone has bought a scanner recently for use with OpenBook or
any other OCR package and whether it has been a success or not.

I have had a look at the Freedom Scientific page of supported scanners, but
there must be about a hundred models listed and it is difficult to know
which one to choose, although I imagine many of them are no longer
available.  So if anyone has any recommendations to pass along, that would
be a great help.

Thanks,

Caroline.
