I don't use a scanner often at all, but I understand that there are several
iPhone apps that are very good for this. I do have the cayenne FB reader app,
which is of course very accessible. It allows you to scan documents, and you
can create PDF files with all pages together. Depending on what your needs are
this might be a good alternative for you, especially if you have an iPhone with
a good camera. Text recognition on the cayenne FB reader app is very good, and
it helps you with page orientation etc. to make sure you take a good picture.
Hope this helps!

I still use a Canon: 120 at this point though this is not the newest ones. I
think the most portable ones of that type are the ones that have "canon
Canoscan lide" title. The portable mobile ones I know nothing about but could
be really neat if they were accessible. I will be watching this thread.

Might be looking for a scanner again, first tiem since I enetered the Mac
universe. I used to rely on the Cannon line of portable flatbed USB scanners,
but I’ve been reading about those portable/mobile scanners that you roll over
the page. Does anyone have experience with these? Ay thoughts from both a Mac
accessibility perspective and/or their usability without sight?
LLooks liek some of them come bundled with Iris OCR software, some with ABBY
Finereader, any thoughts either way?
Thanks,
