>OT - I'm curious if yourself or anyone else has experience scanning large documents - 300 pages or so.< Take a look at the (discontinued) Visioneer Strobe for about $250. Simple feedin. Scans 8 1/2 x 11 in 4 seconds. Comes with in Omnipage Lite -- you may want to upgrade to Omnipage Pro for best OCR. I have an older Visioneer PaperPort (black and white) which you may be able to find refurbished for under $100. Be aware that they have a may come out with a Mac-compatible USB version later.

<<I'm curious if yourself or anyone else has experience scanning large documents - 300 pages or so.>> Visioneers Paperport scanner for around a $100 can do the trick. Versions available for both Mac and PC. On a flatbed scanner, you can see if there is a paper-feed attachment that you can put on it - usually around $150 to $300 extra. With this, I am very fond of using OmniPage or Calera Wordscan which can import directly into an MS Word document. OmniPage is on both Mac and PC. I thin Calera is only on PC. -Bill_H

*OT Rich- Xerox Textbridge and HP scanner with sheet feed. Our data coordinator is blind, and this is the rig he uses. Run it through Word for spell checking, save it as RTF or whatever, and I don't see why it won't fit on a little part of a zip, unless there are pictures. I have about 5 documents this size to scan, and we decided it wasn't worth the effort! It's huge job. Web Has anyone run Textbridge and Omnipage side by side? I had Omnipage Lite, that's totally inferrior to Textbridge. Just curious.
