How do I choose a scanner?

Yes best to ask an expert. But as a guide, I'd say you're looking at a top of the range scanner if you plan on doing all that. Saying that, when you do see an expert, tell them you have about half as much to spend on it as you actually have. Say you'll go a little higher if they don't show you what you want. This way yo ushould get the best deal by getting a model that does all you want but without paying overthe odds for it.

try the Epson Perfection 2480 Scanner Limited Edition.\n\nOr the HP's Scanjet 5530. The photo feeder holds up to 24 photos and has a photo-restoration feature.

It is an okay 3 in one.  Don't get it if you print more then seldom.  the ink is small and will run out fast.  the scanner is low end but good for two dimensional scanning/copying\n\nIf you want a good but not expensive 3 in one get a Epson Stylus CX4200.  Price tag is under 100 bucks and has mail in rebates of 20 dollars.  Scanner is great and prints great.  good value cartidges!\n\n~officemax employee

Who are you trying to pick up, depending  on the radio system, you should not have a too difficult time picking it up. If it is simplex, it could be tricky, if it is trunked - you should be able to receive it just fine, if it is digitally trunked (APCO25) , you will need a $500+ scanner. Contact me for more info.\n\n---\nJeff\nKI6CYC\nhttp://www.scannerprogrammer.com

First you need the picture, if it is a hard copy you will need a scanner, if it is digital you need a card reader (or some digital interface).\n\nMost scanners come with software that will help you organize your pictures.\n\nAs far as digital you should use windows explorer to copy/paste the pictures where you want them.\n\nemail me if you need more help.

I use an HP Deskjet, All-in-one. It was cheaper, but It serves as a printer, scanner, photocopier, and fax, all at once. I quite like HP, their printers also work under Linux.

Hi there,\nMy husband and I bought an Epson RX620 which does fantastic photo's. We use the epson matt photo papar to get the best results. We paid approx £180.00 for it, and it has an inbuilt  scanner too. Hope this is helpful to you, we are glad we bought it and have recommended it to friends.\n\nregards,\nMaggie C

If you're using a Windows machine, as long as your scanner is TWAIN compliant (didn't see it on the Microtek site, but most are), any OCR software should be compatible with it.  If it is not TWAIN complaint, you will need to scan the document to an image file, then OCR the image file.\n\nI've always had good luck with OmniPage, which produces versions both for Windows and Mac.

All you need to do is install the drivers, which you can download from Visioneer's website here:\n\nhttp://support.visioneer.com/\n\nAfter you click on either "scanners for business" "scanners for home," etc., you'll click on the picture/name of your specific scanner. Now you'll see a picture of the scanner and a bunch of tabs beneath it. Next to "specifications" you'll see "drivers and manuals." Click on this. Now follow the instructions to download the drivers and the installation guide. Or even easier, scroll down to the bottom and you can order a replacement installation CD for free.

There are many online scanners that you can use.\nBe advised that these are bandwith hoggy\nTrendMicro has been very reliable over the years.\nIt's online though so no dial up.\nThe Grisoft download is free for home users and works great.\nHope this helps

Put the picture in scanner.  You should have a program where you can scan it to, like Paperport.   Usually when you start scanning a box comes up and asks you where you want to send it.  Or if you open Paperport first use the "File"  "source" and then "acquire".\n\nYou can use any photo program or the one that came with your scanner.  They always include a bundle with the photo program you can use.\n\nHope that helps.\n\np.s.  If you write me and let me know the program you have I will try to be more specific in detail.  Also, what kind of scanner and brand.

Acrobat uses an OCR to allow text selection which will work well if the scan is of good quality.  You just need to download the free reader at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
