Many years ago I seem to remember there was marketed a portable
handheld scanner (for the Mac?) with which you could scan , say, a
newspaper or magazine column or book paragraph , and then dump it into
a word processor. A sort of portable 'coupon clipper' for info
addicts.
Does anyone use one of these ? - or know anything about their current
availability, source, cost etc ?? Battery or power operated ?
I seem to remember one of the problems related to a restricted width,
which entailed having to
'electronically stitch' two columns together. Can they also input
graphics or photos ?
Obviously not a substitute for a flatbed page scanner, but easier to
carry around, and for capturing small amounts of page information.
Google didn't provide me much info - anyone else out there ?
Thanks
Ilbert
