As it was told on the kurzweil list yesterday, a person has to install the 
lattest drivers which are FEBRUARY 12, 2007 and I was told by Nick that there 
was a misunderstanding on the drivers, the drivers that come with the software 
worked from I understand but it is always good to install the lattest.

  HI Pratik, 

   

  TigerDirect is the only place that has it? I thought there was a post about 
getting one from the manufactures web site.

  Robert,

   

  Go to www.tigerdirect.com.  It appears to be the only U.S. place that sells 
the product.  Once you do get it, contact one of us who has it and we can walk 
you through the installation.

   

  Regards,

   

  Pratik

    I would have to echo Prattik's comments. Also being a bookedge scanner you 
won't have to hold books down on the flat bed. I would say the most strain 
would be when scanning a large hard cover book, balancing the book until the 
two half's equal out a bit. 

    The scanner and Kurzweil both keep up as fast as I can flip and hit scan. 
Quality all and all is very goodJ

    Depending on how much you're planning to spend, you might want to consider 
the Opticbook 3600 scanner from Plustek (www.plustek.com).  It can be a bit 
querky, but manageable.  I don't recommend HP scanners at this time.  some of 
the cannons aren't too bad either.  You can't beat the Plustek in speed.

    Kurzweil does not recommend HP scanners since you cannot control the 
dark-light feature. I have an HP scanner and this is what I found. I bought an 
Epson scanner which didn't work so I returned it and kept my HP scanner. 
However, I am thinking about getting a Canon since the HP is not great. Also, 
most HP scanners are not compatible with the Kurzweil software. You might want 
to call Kurzweil, technical support and ask the technician before you spend 
your money for an inadequate scanner.

      This is the new scanner I'm thinking on getting. Here is my question 
though. With the use on my left hand and limited use of my right, iS it easy to 
use the ADF which comes with it and how do you use it with kurzweil? I saw flip 
side in the menus and was wondering if you put the first page in and somehow 
make it do the flip side somehow. If someone can give me the step by step 
instructions, thanks in advance. I have a hard cover book here that I brought 
of a book that is going to be redone because there are too manny errors in the 
copy on bookshare.
