[Electronics-Talk] Scanner

[evelyn weckerly]

Tracy, I bought mine from Amazon because I had to.  It was not a 
pleasant shopping experience.  I had to get hold of a human for 
help.  Afterward, I was pestered by suggestions in email and some 
downright scammers.  I am reluctant about doing business with 
Amazon again.

Thanks Evelyn.
Book-edge is what I want.  Is that something I could put into 
Amazon, "book
edge scanner"?
Maybe I'll have to re-assess my budget.
For now, happily, my old PC has revived once more.  "I'm not dead 
yet!"

Tracy, I don't think you will find a legal-size scanner for $200.
I have a Plustech 3600 (I think the current model is 3800).  It 
is a
regular-size scanner.  They do make a legal-size also.
These are book-edge scanners and are fast.  I have had mine for 
some time
now, and I think it was more than $200 several years ago een I 
bought it.
so legal-size ones are more money.  I have mentioned the Plustech 
scanners
to Albert at Dancing Dots, but I don't know if he has evaluated 
this brand.
Because these are book-edge, they are more accurate.

Regards,

Evelyn

I guess I need to buy a new scanner.  My old Epson works 
perfectly well, but
won't connect to my Windows 7 PC, and the PC it does connect to 
has just
died.

I want a scanner to scan music and books.  I need it to handle 
legal-size
paper.  I need it to interface well with Kurzweil and Sharpeye, 
my
music-scanning software.I would prefer not to spend more than 
$200.What do
people have they're happy with?

Tracy
