Hello David, I've read your review and just wondered whether you are aware of, or have perhaps tested the plustec optic book 4600 scanner with Kurzweil's latest version 11.03, before making the observation that this extremely expensive Eyepal scanner performs better than Kurzweil?
I was not yet able to obtain the Plustec scanner, though I am using Kurzweil, but It can apparently scan right into the binding of books, eliminating the problem one has with other flatbed scanners and according to discussions on the Kurzweil list, its performance is excellent and together with Kurzweil, amounting to about probably a quarter of the price of the device you've just mentioned. Even with a normal flatbed Epson scanner, 80% of books I've scanned, scan acceptable with Kurzweil, on double page scanning, if one scans sideways.

Have you tried it with math books, or know of anyone who has had success with them? If so, how well did it work?
