I have a pearl scanner from freedom scientific. It is a camera that can snap up to 20 pages per minute. It works very well and also works in open book. It is a little pricey, but it works for a lot of scanning. Mainly for scanning books and multiple docs. If you don't scan that much, this might not be the best price for what it is. It doesn't take up as much space and is portable when hooking up to a laptop and such. Hope this helps. ----- Original Message ----- From: Dave Mitchell To: JAWS Help Sent: Thursday, March 17, 2011 5:56 AM Subject: JAWS 12 & Scanner Recommendations Help Greetings All: I have an old HP5P scanner. Someone else hooked it up a long time ago. It is a little flatbed model but ever since I turned it off some time ago, my Open Book demo cannot find it and my feeble efforts to reinstall it have naturally failed. I am curious about current available models and the price range as well as simplicity of installation and other hints and tips for getting something current. I think there are combination units out there but, for now, the free standing printer I use is working. I may get some help to reinstall my old scanner but thought I would take the occasion of this situation to quiz the list members about current scanner technology.
