Message-ID: <9339@pucc.Princeton.EDU> Date: 17 Aug 89 13:31:20 GMT Reply-To: MIKEA@pucc.Princeton.EDU Organization: Princeton University, NJ Lines: 11 Disclaimer: Author bears full responsibility for contents of this article Hi everybody, does anyone have experience with hand held type scanners (4" wide strips etc). Are they any good, are the pieces of a page easily lined up or is it just not worth it. What about cheap OCR programs (are there any that work for a small price ?) How are the small scanners powdered ? (want to use in US and Australia, ie 240V 50Hz) Do they run off the Mac or a seperate power cube ? Thanks in advance, Michael.
