[Electronics-talk] OCR Scanners

[cheez]

Does anyone have any idea which OS Linda is running?  The suggested scanner 
may not be compatible.  However, there is the chance it is backward 
compatible.

I've used and stil use predecessors to the LiDE110, and found that the 
buttons never worked for me--not that I really wanted to.  I guess some 
configuration is involved from the beginning.

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:
