Some of your problem may be resolvable if you can modify the margins of your scan window by telling the program that the book is so wide and so long. K1000 can handle this, perhaps OB can as well. Don't know if the current batch of scanners offered is faster or not. The Epson 1200 used to be, but that was back a ways. ----- Original Message ----- From: Scott Blanks To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ; blindtech@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, January 10, 2005 8:32 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Fast scanners? Hi all, I'm using Openbook 7.02 and I am in search of a quicker scanner. I would estimate my current scan time at about 15-20 seconds from start to finish using the Epson Perfection 1670. So I suppose my question would be twofold: 1. Are there faster scanners out there? 2. If so, do these scanners work well with Openbook?
