[access-uk] Re: Scanner for OCR ing textbooks

Hi Eleanor

Is this better?

The reason it was blacked out is because I have my colours set to high contrast 
and so if I send an email with the colours set this way the message body is 
black and so is the text.

I should have changed the colours to windows classic before sending, bit lazy 
of me. sorry about that.

Regards
cDarren.

  Hi Daren
  I do not know about the scanner but cannot read your e-mail visually, 
thankfully I have speech also.  Why is it blacked-out?  When I hit the Reply, 
it now seems that mine is blacked-out too.  No doubt someone will tells us why.

    Hi All

    I'm thinking of buying a flat bed scanner and want one that will obviously 
perform OCR, but not be too expensive.

    I remember the opticbook 3600 being mentioned quite a few times on here and 
our very own Mr Nut saying how good it performs. 

    Obviously an edge scanner would be the best option, but I don't think there 
are any in my price range which is currently a few hundred pounds.

    After reading the reviews for the opticbook it sounds like it performs 
reasonably well and can apparently cope with shadowing that occurs near the 
spine. So it sounds like it will suffice for scanning in text books.

    If there is anyone on the list who owns an opticbook then your comments 
would be most welcome, as at the moment it sounds like a good investment. 
However if you know of an alternative that performs as well or better then I 
would love to hear about it.

    Cheers
    Darren.
