hi everyone

i'm looking for a pc scanner with some sort of document feed. it must be reasonably quick and come with decent software (OCR to link in with MS Word).

cost, well hopefully no more than 300+vat.

any ideas?

cheers

Try the Computer Forum for a start

 

Now you're in the right place, I've previously used HP scanners with ADFs for get documents into PDF. The 5590 (£270 on Dabs) claims to OCR a page into Word in sub 18 seconds.

 

Now thats a nice scanner! Time to PDF all my old Uni folders and bin them so I dont have to keep lugging them around when moving

One word . . . Kodak

 

Wouldn't you need more than one word to describe the price though?

 

Unfortunately, yes Our lowest of the low Kodak flatbed still retails at over £1k
Up to our wide format and high speed scanners at stupid money.

We've still got an HP ScanJet that does exactly what it says on the tin, bargains for the money
