Hi I understand that it is down to the twain software interface that the manufacturer supplies with their scanner. Thus it is a gamble that a particular scanner not on the Kurzweil list will work. >From my experience and from that of other contributers, that maybe, a guide can be taken loosley from the manufacturer. I've used: Epson 1240U & CX36500 Cannon 330P and another can't remember. Plustek A3 I've tried a Mustek 1200U which would not work. Not sure if the K1000 list is still up and running, or whether the archives are available. But they may be a good resource of scanners used.
