We just wanted something that would scan and save images (with its own interface) using Win 7 64-bit. The alternative was to throw out a scanner that, when it was new, cost around $900 (due to image size, resolution, and color depth.) Never was a fan of OCR...cheaper to send documents overseas and have them hand-keyed.
