none that I use have touch screens or menus of any kind. I use just a simple
Epson Perfection V33. It has four buttons for scanning, copying, etc - none
of them are necessary and I don't bother with them. All scanner control is
done through the scanning software such as ABBYY fine reader etc. I just
plug the scanner into the computer USB port and let the scanning software
deal with it. Honestly, you don't have to do anything with the scanner
itself - just the scanning software. There's a difference between the two.

Subject: blind friendly flatbed scanners? any ideas?
OK, I know a scanner is a scanner, but some of them do menus which don't
talk and make the dear little things more difficult for us to use. I suppose
a lot of them will have touch screens now.
Another issue I have had with scanners in the past is it being difficult to
position documents/books for the best results. I suspect improvements in OCR
may have made this less of a problem than it once was.
Anyway, it must be difficult to judge which scanner to buy, or it wouldn't
appear as a topic with such regularity. So, any nominations for a current
model which is reasonably priced, isn't fiddly to use, can handle documents
at a speed which wouldn't make it off-putting to scan a small book and works
with Macs would be very welcome indeed. I guess that reasonably priced thing
rules out all those, what I shall from now on know to refer to as, SARA
things.
Cheers
