Hello:
I suggest you get demos of the latest Kurzweil software and Openbook
and try them. When it comes to scanners, I suggest looking at office models
since they can handle a higher capacity. I have a Fujitsu FI4010cu. It has
both a flatbed and ADF. The newer units have a duplex ADF, so both sides of
a page can be scanned at the same time.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Robert
