You got that right, I saw a cannon scanner recently that was selling for $5800.

yes for that money most do, and if you pick up a scanner on a open box or warehouse sale you then buy the software at Staples. Good luck, it's only tougher due to the multi-page feed requirements, otherwise it's easy.
Look for about 10-15 sec scan speeds and you'll have a softer price range.
If you need lightning fast scanning you could spend big.

Thanks. Do most scanners come with OCR as part of the software these days?
Does anyone know? I know some portable ones do. I just wondered about the
regular multi feed ones.

I'm not sure why a previous poster wrote that Omnipage Pro after version

all of the time and it is very accessible to me using JAWS. It is a very
good program.

 Most of your talking scan programs work on a platform of

Omni-page or abby-fine.

Windows may have features for this, but as far as blind folks, it looks
like the  Open Book software is the deal.

But, there are opinions, and if it?s jail broke, as in transferred without
license Nazi?s you could find cheaper.

We haven't shopped for this in awhile. We have an older scanner that does
one page at a time and no new OCR software.
We need to convert study materials.
I would imagine the easiest thing would be to have a multi sheet scanner
and prepare it at home. Not sure if many of those come with OCR software.
I have seen some portable scanners as well that have OCR.
Can for now use the scanner we have and get some OCR software but ideally
I think a multi feed with OCR software that comes with it sounds best.
Just looking for recommendations on the best set up and scanners and/or
software recommended. Trying to also be economical.

Thanks Claire
