[nfbcs] flatbed scanner recommendation

[Larry Wayland]

The Cano scanners are very good and very low cost.   They will work well for
what you want to do.

Subject: [nfbcs] flatbed scanner recommendation

Anybody have a recommendation for a flatbed scanner for use with OCR?  I
don't do a whole lot of scanning. Sometimes I scan my mail. Sometimes I scan
in books. I probably don't need a top of the line system. But I don't know
if I should be looking in the $200 or the $400 or the $800 price range.

I also don't even have a Windows machine. I use linux with the tesseract OCR
engine. So the software that comes with the scanner will probably be of no
use to me.
Feel free to recommend a scanner even if you don't know if it's linux
compatible. I'll check that.
