[Electronics-talk] OCR Scanners

[Frida Aizenman]

Around 2009, I bought an HP Scanjet G3110 and it still works very well, but 
I don't know if that model is still being sold.

The kind of scanning you are interested in does not require a resolution of
more than 1200 dots per inch.  Excellent OCR results can be achieved with a
resolution as low as 400 dots per inch.

You might consider the following scanner which is inexpensive, light and
takes it power through the USB connection:
