Bob, you're right. That's a great resource. I like your suggestion.
Unfortunately, the compatible scanners lists aren't kept current, and some
of the scanners that it says won't work actually do work. Mayrie and I both
bought Visioneer scanners while not knowing about the compatible scanners
list. We were able to get good results. Later, a staff person from Kurzweil
told us that Visioneers categorically don't work. I learned two things that
day. First, the OCR companies don't have the money and resources to test
every new scanner. Second, the man who says it can't be done should get out
of the way of two women doing it. (grin)

I haven't looked lately, but both Kurzweil and freedom scientific used to
put a list of scanners that work well with their systems on their website.
