<p>Hi Kathy, I have a Brother all-in-one machine; it works fine with
OpenBook and the Docuscan program from Serotek which is now Pneuma
Solutions; since you're using OpenBook ask someone from Freedom
Scientific about a good machine that supports OpenBook; the
Brother machines you can get from Amazon or if you need it
immediately Staples or Office Depot stores may have Brother
machines; hope this helps; thanks.</p>

<p>Yours truly, Peter<br>

<div> I generally only use it with OpenBook to read
mail and other documents. The scanner I had was an Epson. It
was generally a very inexpensive scanner and I wonder if it
is a case of you get what you pay for. The biggest issue my
scanner had is that it would not hold the USB plug into the
back. It was always loose and movable, so the scanner would
constantly go out. </div>

<p>Hi Kathy, Peter Russillo in Stuart, Florida; what brand
of scanner were you using before it bit the dust? Will
you be doing mostly OCR with it, like with Openbook or
Kurzweil? There are the all-in-one machines that will
print as well as scan, like machines made by Brother;
depending on what you're mostly using a scanner for, if
it's OCR Freedom Scientific (if you're using OpenBook)
could help youu with recommendations; if using it for
other functions, I'm sure there'll be someone on the list
who can help you out; more info on how you're using the
scanner will help in your search for an accessible one.
Take care.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Yours truly, Peter<br>

<div>Hello all, </div>

<div> I am looking for recommendations for a good
quality, scanner that is relatively accessible to
someone who is totally blind. The one I had has been
giving problems for a long time and today it finally
bit the dust. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
