Thanks for your suggestions. I am currently using Abbyy fine reader with a normal flat bed scanner which is great. But As i need to scan a lot of books i am thinking to switch to a camera scanner.
I think the distributor of VisionAid in India is Sparsh in dehradun. i will contact them and give my feedback to you.
