[blindlaw] Fujitsu ScanSnap s500

[Locke Milholland]

Here I was thinking the martial arts topic ended and now we're back to 
discussing Fujitsu.

Personally, I'm a green belt in the HP 4500C.  It's an adequate document 
feeding scanner for about 1/3 the price of the Fujitsu upper end models.  I 
have the Fujitsu  on my wish list, but will need a few marriages to break up 
or lead foots to get caught first.

In law school, I kept a close relationship with the professors and the 
disability services.  The book publishers gave me electronic copies. 
Professors, who wrote the course packets and handouts on computers were able 
to email me copies of most non-book materials.  Disability services took 
care of scanning the rest--course packets and manuals that hadn't been 
updated this century.

Good afternoon,

I am thinking about purchasing a new scanner for my first year of law 
school.  Is anyone familiar with the Fujitsu ScanSnap s500 and how well it 
performs as both a scanner and how well the Abbyy OCR bundled with it 
performs for OCR?

Any other sheet-fed scanner recommendations would be great.

Thanks,
Everett
