Hi all,

Does anyone have any information on whether or not Lion will offer a more viable scanning solution?

IT sounds like from my recent readings that the fujisu scanners are well liked 
by the OCR  manufactures of Mac software.

I have been playing around with devInc pro office which is a paperless office solution 
which costs about $150. It uses Abby as its OCR engine, but can automate with any scanner 
that Image Capture works with.  THere are also special notes about fujitsu.  Also Mac 
Update today has a "paperless" solution inclculding support for OCR off a 
fujitsu printer.  I didn't take time to look at the package, but mostly I think you can 
demo the software that MacUpdate sells.

If you can't find the offer write me at [email protected] and I will forward you 
the flyer.

Best wishes,

Jonathan

Hi David,

Thanks for all this.  I wasn't taking DocuScan that seriously, but after 
reading your messages, I'll give it a closer look.  My MacBook Pro is two years 
old, and the thing that's prompting all this is that I need a new scanner, 
because Fujitsu hasn't written Windows 7 drivers for my current scanner (long 
sigh, it still works great!)

  Please do post an announcement when you're demo is up, I'd love to give it a 
listen.
Cheers,
Donna

Right now I am using a Canon Lide 200, and a almost 3 year old MacBook Pro. 
And, I am happy enough about the speed with those, but my employer will be 
buying me a new MacBook Pro come October with me supplying them with the specs 
that I want.

If you have not heard a demo/review of DocuScan Plus I can post an announcement 
here, if you wish, as to when my review of it comes up on MainMenu.  The review 
has already been submitted, but I'm not sure when Jamie plans on airing it.  I 
would say probably before the end of June.  I do the biggest part of the demo 
in Windows, but I do show off doing a few things using the Mac version too.  I 
think it should be enough for you to have a fairly good idea how well it does 
on a 3 year old MacBook Pro whose processor is much slower than a newer Mac, 
and it sounds like your scanner is much faster than mine.  I went for 
portability since I need to carry laptop and scanner to clients homes or 
jobsites from time-to-time.

Hi David,

My current scanner is a Fujitsu FI4220C.  It scans approx 1 page every 5-7 
seconds.  I tend to scan books, rather than single page documents.  What's the 
speed like with DocuScan?  Also, what scanner are you using?
TIA,
Donna

Yes, I have used it, but since I now have DocuScan Plus I think I would opt for 
DocuScan Plus and if you want the digital camera you could get the Hover Cam.  
If you get both the DocuScan Plus and the HoverCam you will still pay a lot 
less than Eye-Pal and be able to do much much more than you can with Eye-Pal 
for a higher price.  I also discovered that the dpi on the Eye-Pal camera is 
only 219, which is very low compaired to 300 or higher dpi with a flatbed 
scanner.  I believe the dpi would be at least 300 with the HoverCam.

Of course, at this time, all the recognition in DocuScan Plus for Mac is done 
on the Seratek server.  So, you do have to have an internet connection to make 
it work.  Of course you could always use your iPhone hotspot for that.

Subject: Abisee?


Hi all,

I have to make a decision about what I'm going to do to upgrade my scanning 
setup.  As I recall, when last discussed, the consensus seemed to be that 
Abisee wasn't quite ready for prime-time.  Just wondering if anyone is using 
it, and if they are happy with the product?

Thanks in advance for any info.
Best,
Donna
