[Electronics-Talk] OCR Scanner Recommendations

[amandainparadise777 at gmail.com]

A thousand bucks is not much these days as compared to the mainstay scanner
that so many of us used ... umpteen years ago.  It was an HP flatbed scanner
and at this hour, I don't remember the model number.

I couldn't afford to buy a new one, but I found refurbished ones.

It also did not have an ADF.

I had a fairly nice scanner with an ADF when I worked at Verizon as a
Software Engineer.  We had quite a bit of paper reference materials which
were heaped on us.

Kind regards,

Amanda

It depends on how serious you are with your scanning.

I am a lawyer and need to scan large quantities of pages quickly.  

Consequently,  I have a Canon DR-C225.  It allows me to take an average
sized reference book, cut off its spine and feed the pages through the
document feeder to produce scanned text in about 25 minutes.

I have been using the DR-C225 for several years and apart from replacing
worn rollers, have had no trouble with it.  Considering the price tag is
more than $1,000 I would be pissed if it was otherwise.

The scanner you should really consider is the Canon P-215 scanner which is
small portable and has a good, but rather limited, document feeder.

I hope this helps...

Hi, Folks.  I'm looking to buy an OCR scanner, as I need to scan books and
papers.  I've heard that Cannon makes good scanners.  I want to have
automatic document feed (ADF) capability.  Plan to use it in combination
with docuScan Plus.

Any help greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.--Matthew Chao
