[Wireless PDA SIG] Scanning

[John Dierdorf]

At the SIG meeting this evening there was some discussion about how long it 
would take to scan an entire book.  Coincidentally, I just saw a description 
of the Fujitsu Scansnap, which costs about $300, has a sheet feeder, and 
scans both sides of the sheet simultaneously in 5 or 6 seconds.  That means a 
500-page book (250 sheets) could be scanned in less than half an hour.  
Available software for the gadget produces both a PDF **and* does an OCR pass 
to produce a .TXT version.
