Hi Adrian, I've no idea what speech programme you use, or other software, but I have the Epson perfection, 1250, and I use Kurzweil software with it, which works pretty good for what you're needing. You can look at www.sightandsound.co.uk website where they have a section on approved scanners, recommended for certain operating systems and jaws. Hope this helps.

Hi All, I am considering buying a scanner to deal with post primarily. I believe that a flat bed scanner will be the best option. Does anyone have a particular model they would recommend?
