I think any of the popular Canon models will meet first two requirements
easily though I am no expert on their current range but they tend to
concentrate on the portable/small size ones so I think you will have
problems there. Criteria three; I have no idea but I am sure they would
fare reasonably well. Have you looked at Freedom Scientific for
recommended scanner models, I think that is what should inform you
choice as well.

Hi Tristram,
Some of the reasons I'm looking at Canon scanners is 1, size, since I
intend carrying it around with me 2, they are powered through the USB2
lead, and 3, reliability, since my Epson only lasted eighteen months.
Do you know any other model that matches those requirements?
Cheers
Dave
The only matters of interest here are probably speed, price and its size
for intended task. Nearly all OCR takes place whether Openbook or
Kurzweil or whatever at about 300 or perhaps 400 DPI and perhaps in
colour to push the boat out a little further, way below the maximum
optical resolution of any scanner currently available let alone software
assisted interpolative resolution.
The Canon machines on the whole have not been known for their speed on
OCR applications. We recommend the Epson scanners for speed and general
compatability with Kurzweil 1000 and I know FS have a similarly good
report about the Epson scanners for Openbook as well.
Regards.
