Try if USB 4100 by Umex is still available. The problem with scanners is they disappear from the market irritatingly fast. USB 4100 is inexpensive and gives very good results, at least it used to, till the time i could use it.
Another favorite is Perfection v100 (Epson) It is very good and fast, but not sure if it is available in India. I was also impressed by the features of bookedge 3600 (plustech) scans a page in 4 seconds. but it is very expensive. Since, I couldn't find it any of the local stores and there was no return policy on it if purchased online, I couldn't try it. These days all in one machines are in vogue, and very often they are cheaper than the stand alone scanners, don't ask me why. I am using photosmart 3140 (HP) it can scan, print and photo copy. Good results but takes a little more than 10 seconds per page. Keep in mind that these days very often packaging does not include USB cable. Make sure you have a USB cable before leaving the shop. All the best Happy shopping. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Prashant Naik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, January 04, 2007 8:02 PM Subject: [AI] Which is best scanner today? > Hi list, > > > > Please tell me which one is the best scanner model at present for > educational purpose and which supports OCR softwares Kurzweil, Open book > or > Fine Reader well. > > > > Regards, > > Prashant Naik > To unsubscribe send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with the subject unsubscribe. > > To change your subscription to digest mode or make any other changes, > please visit the list home page at > http://accessindia.org.in/mailman/listinfo/accessindia_accessindia.org.in To unsubscribe send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the subject unsubscribe.
