I use an Epson 1660 scanner, which if you can buy refurbished are truly
awesome for speed, and silence, a serious plus in our household.
I also had a HP scanjet, and although it was loud, heavy and sometimes not
to cooperative with my computer, it had longevity, smile. As I made that
thing work for three years.
I believe the Epson 1370 or 1770 is the now replacement for the 1660
As for OCR packages, I use Fine Reader 7 and Kurzweil version 8. So if you
are curious about either of those. Fine Reader is a commercial package and
will put you back about $295 but is one of the cheaper OCRs out there. It
has a lot of tweaking to make it accessible with a screen reader, but the
OCR is great.
But of course absolutely love Kurzweil.
Been a Kesy user since version 5.
