selecting a scanner?
Hi all, Do I understand correctly that any scanner with a twain driver will work on the Mac? If that's not correct, what do I need to pay attention to when selecting a scanner?

Re: selecting a scanner?
Hello Donna, I'm not sure whether all scanners work with the Mac, but it's usually easy to get the information before purchasing. As for OCR on the Mac, I'm currently just using VueScan. If you set it to multipage scanning, you can then set the number of seconds between scans so that you don't have to keep pressing Cmd-N to launch a scan. The quality of the OCR is pretty good and it offers several languages. I can't remember which languages, but I'm sure the usual European languages are included. It also handles columns correctly, so I can scan two pages of a book at a time and have them come out in the right order.

Re: selecting a scanner?
Hi Anne, thanks, just downloaded Vuescan. The setup looks to be straight-forward enough. One question, though. Since I don't have a scanner at the moment. Do you know if Vuescan supports duplex scanning?
