<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></P>

<DIV>Hello all, </DIV>
<DIV> </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. </DIV>
