I use my Epson 1660 for both scanning books with OCR and scanning pictures
using the Scanning wizard available in XP.
I have to agree with guido with the scanner printer combinations, ehy aren't
worth your time.
Though, depending on finances a copy of Abby's Fine Reader by itself will be
a bit more tweaking to use, but can net good results too. This program is
not designed for blind people so will take some time to learn how to use and
hopefully you have a screen reader or a screen magnifier to make it
accessible but it is an alternative if you don't have the funding to buy
Kurzweil. Which is of course my first choice, smile. Fine Reader Seven is
going for about $300 last time I checked.
But definitely stay with a flat bed scanner.
