[Michlib-l] OCR Scanning

[Margaret Loebe]

I was bequeathed a scanner by our archives department who had an extra one.
It's a little slow and I'm not impressed with the size of the flat bed (A4)
but it does a marvellous job with OCR -- the software was basically built
for it. Because I didn't order it, I didn't realize how much it costs. So
it's spendy, but truly excellent. I haven't used the document feeder but
that also looks like it scans quickly.

Good luck,

Margaret
