I will be a sighted scanner. I am volunteering to give back. My daughter is 9
and is dyslexic along with a few other LDs. Bookshare has been wonderful for
her.

Can't go wrong, Jodene! If you tell us more about your situation,w e can
recommend the best scanning software. As a sighted scanner, I prefer ABBYY
FineReader, and if you are visually impaired, Kurzweil 1000 seems to have the
best support on the list.
Scanning is still like magic to me. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

I just want to second the great job of an OpticBook, although we just got
an upgrade from the 3600 to the 3800 and for nearly the same price, if you can
swing it, the improvement in speed is amazing. I am working on a Mac in boot
camp and was having a known lamp problem and the patch did not work on my
hardware, causing a wait at startup that very few people have with the patch.
Can't go wrong with either the OpticBook 3600 or 3800, though!

I really like my Opticbook 3600. It's between $200.00 and $300.00. You can
put the books right on the edge and scan very easily with it in one-page
mode or do two pages at a time if it's a paperback.

I want to volunteer time to scan. I will need to buy a scanner. Which ones
work best?
