+1 for ScanSnap. We have one here - its pretty slick. Windows/Mac
only, so far as I know, though.

good piece of hardware for this. Of course, it would be best if it
worked with Linux, but we are *not* holding our breath.
Also, it would be nice it had software that could read a printout and
use OCR and save the new document using a given path and filename (or
whatever).
Ideas? Thanks all!
I wish I could recommend a Linux solution, but the ScanSnap line is
really amazing. My dad bought one a few years ago. You feed it up
to 50 pages at a time, it takes only a few seconds per page, and the
bundled Windows software performs good OCR automatically. It makes
a flatbed scanner look really silly.

Who knows, maybe the software works in Wine. :-)
