RE: Flatbed scanner
Hi all, I want to thank everyone who has offered some input on my search for a good flatbed scanner. Unless someone has a serious concern about it, I think I am setteling on the Opticbook 3800 for my scanning needs. It's a little pricey, but it's a bookedge scanner and I will primarily be scanning a lot of books here. In case I didn't mention it, I will be using OpenBook 9 on a 32 bit Win 7 machine for my OCR results. The reason I said I needed a good and accurate flatbed scanner, is because I don't have anyone at this time to proofread my scanned books. So image quality is of corse very important. Thanks again all, and please pipe up if you feel I'm making a big mistake on this one.

Re: Flatbed scanner
The whole point of buying a bookedge scanner is to get a good scan of one page, not to try to scan 2 pages of a book at once. If you want the extra accuracy that a bookedge can provide, the 3800 is fine for most applications. Scanning two pages at once is hard on the shoulders, arms and the book. Mary
Re: Flatbed scanner
the Plustek OpticBook 3800 has a surface area slightly larger than an 8.5 x 11 piece ofpaper. This scanner is not big enough for scanning two pages of many books at the same time. The OpticPro a320 scanner from PlusTek is about the size of tabloid paper or 12 x 17. This size is sufficient to scan both pages of an open book. Kelly On 1/8/15, Andrea Sherry wrote: > Hi!

It is an in the cloud scanning program that costs 300 bucks, and you still need a scanner with it. Given the uncertain state of serotek and the fact that this is all done in the cloud, I would not personally touch that program with a 10-ft pole at this time. The opticbook 3800 is a good bookedge scanner. If you mostly want to scan books, that's a good one. But you will still need an accessible piece of software to go with it. Abbyy Fine Reader pro for Windows is said to be accessible, although I have no personal experience with it. The software that comes with the opticbook scanners is worthless from an accessibility point of view.You can try a free demo of the above-mentioned docuscan plus to see if it meets your needs, as you can try a demo of abbyy FR pro, which costs less and gives you way more control, and more languages, than docuscan. There is also k1000 and Openbook, but those programs cost considerably more; they offer many more features and are designed for the blind. So if that's your cup of tea, then go for it. K1000 just released version 14 with the latest versions of the engines from abbyy and scansoft. Mary

RE: Flatbed scanner
Hi John, You can obtain an accessible scanner from www.Serotek.com. They have one called DocuScan Plus. It's heard to be very accurate and you can scan books or any printed materials with it. The coolest thing about it is, that you can even save the stuff you scan as a braille file, that you can either copy to your braille notetaker, if you have one, or send it to a braille printer if you have one. one. Mike Rochester, NY. You can get more information about it and you can contact the company using the information provided on their website. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of John Chilelli Sent: Thursday, January 8, 2015 5:20 PM To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' Subject: Flatbed scanner Sensitivity: Personal Hi.
