<font color="#000099">So given all that, how do I get those pesky biz
cards to an address book? <br>
<br>
I like all the features you mentioned, but I don't want to type in all
those addresses and emails to get a mailing list. Is there any way to
wrangle up all that info without a Scan Snap or a good (virtual)
cutting horse? Will the OCR software with the flatbaed scanner do that?<br>
<br>
Thanks for any suggestions.<br>

<pre wrap="">Darlene,
There are a lot of good scanners out there and the Epson Precision
seems to be popular. Others might point you to others which would be
good. I don't know your requirements for a scanner but I am assuming
you would use it in the same way most of us use it--for reproducing
photos, some documents and occasionally a thick object. I'll give my
comments but others might have more to add.
My feeling--Get the Epson Precision V300 with the transparency unit.
You need this unit in any scanner if you want to do slides or
negatives. Looking at the Snap Scan this seems to be a scanner for
business who do a lot of scanning of existing documents with the
software to scan business cards . You can only scan documents which
can feed through the scanner ( just like some copiers). If this is
what you want to do fine, but for most use a flat bed scanner --like
the Epson Precision V300 with the transparency feature--is a better
choice. You need a flat bed to copy pages from a book or leaflet. The
only advantage of the Snap Scan is the ability to scan business cards
into the Address Book. Even if everything else were equal $200 for
this feature is a little steep.
The extra $20 for the transparency unit is very reasonable.

<pre wrap="">I would like to get a scanner that would, among other things, scan
business cards for my address book in Safari 3. Scan Snap looks a
little
pricey.
I love what the Epson Precision V30 claims to do, but nowhere do I see
specifically that it scans biz cards or that they can be imported into
the address book in my browser.
Also, on th V30, can you just lay a 35 mm film or slide on it and do
anything? (The next model up has the film holder but is pricier.) The
photo printing possibilities look tasty, otherwise.
Thanks for your opinions and advise.
