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
