Dear volunteers: I know I'm testing the extent of patience you have but I would like to share a fact sheet about scanners that were included in the package of my demo of Kurzweil 3000. Since this program is like a twin of k1000 somewhat, they provided a list that I know will be of utility for you. Here it is Kurzweil Educational Systems Scanners for use with Kurzweil 3000 Whether or not you presently own a scanner, if you are considering the purchase Kurzweil 3000 it makes sense to check which models work best. Not all scanners are created equal and some give less than perfect results when scanning, Some are too slow, some t)only scan in black and white, and others just don't work well at all.
