Hi Mary, I don't have docuscan. I know all there is to know for good or ill about the EyePal, and there's plenty of both. I know there are logistical problems with scanning in the cloud. Speed, server and internet dependencies and security issues. I can't speak to the interface of docuscan from experience though.
I do have a hovercam demo unit. It looks pretty nice, which is just as well since it's completely decorative at the moment. There's no mac twane driver that I've found so I can't use it with finereader express. The twane driver on windows is pooched and neither omnipage nor kurzweil 12 will use the thing. Tested on two different machines. I'd like to buy docuscan and play with it just to use the hovercam if for no other reason. Now, if docuscan were able to process ocr locally, it would be a steel. It is what it is though, and imho, overpriced on the basis that it runs in the cloud.
