Thread Name: Tech: Question - Scanners
Subject: RE: Tech: Question - Scanners
Lots of good information here, but I'm still not able to find the perfect scanner.
I have two main considerations:
- I need a scanner that will handle books well, that will take a decent image without forcing me to break the binding of the book.
I think the ideal scanner would have a very narrow plastic margin between the edge of the glass and the edge of the scanner, but I'm open to addvice. As far as I can determine, the Canon scanners have the narrowest margin.
- I'm looking for bundled OCR software that will work just like my old Pagis Scanning Suite - highlight an area of a scanned image, and paste it as text directly into a Mudcat reply box.
