[JAWS-Users] A REALLY DECENT SCANNER

2016-12-25 Thread John Justice
Hi group,

First of all, Merry Christmas to everyone.

Santa brought me a really nice flatbed scanner for Christmas.  I didn't know
that they were still made.

This is an Epson Perfection.  It has quite a few advantages over the older
scanners I have used.

First of all, the Epson Perfection no longer requires separate AC
attachments.

The disk holding the drivers will install automatically.  It adds an icon to
your desktop for their built-in  software package.  However, it works quite
well with Open Book.

The scanner is small, light and very quiet.

 

For some scanning operations, I still prefer a flatbed scanner over the
Pearl Camera.  What's more, this thing is now on sale at Best Buy for under
$100.

First off, I hope everyone is having a great Christmas day!

Aother very nice scanner is Canon's Canoscan 200LDE flat bed scanner. 
It's small, light, and doesn't need separate AC power, it gets all the 
power it needs through it's USB cable. And it works well with Open Book 
which controls it directly, unlike OmniPage which always brought up the 
scanner's user interface. When you tell Open Book to aquire a page, the 
scanner starts scanning with no further input from you.


Very nice!

Cheers!

That's a very good price. Glad it worked out so well for you. I still have 
my Epson GT-2500 with the ADF and duplex capability. It's a beast, but I'll 
use it until it crashes.

Like Jean, I use the CanoScan scanner. However, my use is limited to 
scanning business documents via Kurzweil, by choice.
