We are looking for a color scanner, that would also run nicely as a mono
scanner on Sun. Besides doing fancy color graphics, we want to be able
to conveniently use it for FAX, and OCR.
The only hardware I know about that runs on the Sun are the Microtek's
(the 300??) and the HSD ScanX.
The only "low" cost OCR software I know of is "Servant" sold by the HSD
people.
We have a price limit of about $3K for scanner and software.
I recently saw a negative review of a Microtek scanner in PC Week, where
the PC version was rated against newer PC technology. I haven't seen any
evaluation of the HSD.
I would appreciate hearing about any first hand experience with these
scanners or Servant, or for that matter anything else that runs on a Sun.
