I think the Epson Perfections are pretty good and I know of at least one guy
on list who is using one with Window-Eyes along with Kertzveil and/or Fine
Reader.
Don't know the current state of play but they used to do at least two
versions, the slightly more expensive one handles slides.
HTH.

Hi all,
Since this is about scanners, I'd like to ask a question. I'm thinking
of purchasing an Epson Perfection scanner, so that I can scan in any
handouts or other print material I receive during my time at university
and afterwards. How accessible, in terms of hardware and/or software,
are they? I use Window-Eyes. Thanks for any help. I was recommended to
purchase this scanner by one of the assistive technology personnel at my
college, to which I've now left after being a student there for 5 years.
