Hi Anne,
Thanks for the suggestion.
This is true, scanners with automatic document feeder are much faster
than flat bed. I haven't used one of those, so I haven't thought of it.
What if you can't take books apart. What would be the best solution?
Thanks for help,
JL

Hello James,
If you can take the books apart, you'd be fastest with the kind of scanner that
will scan both sides of a sheet and also has an automatic feed. The application
VueScan can probably handle one of these and it produces very good images.
However, VueScan is not good for OCR. It will do it, but not very well. You
can, however, feed the file of images to ABBYY FineReader Express for Mac which
does an excellent job on OCR.
Here is a link to the page showing which scanners are supported by VueScan:

Hi All,
I'm wondering what would be the fastest way for a college student to scan books
with accurate OCR?
I know there are cameras out there for scanning documents like hover cam and
pearl, but I haven't actually used them.
I could be wrong, but pearl is only works with Open Book, right?
Can someone share their experience, and recommend what to buy?
Especially comparison would be very helpful.
Thanks so much,
JL
