Re: [PLUG] What's a small document scanner that's easy to use? |
I've used my phone (droid). There are a ton of apps available. Haven't done OCR but I hear it's pretty good. Worth a shot and costs you nothing. On 8/23/19 9:42 AM, Mark Dominus via plug wrote:
I want to get a small desktop document scanner for scanning things like receipts. I used to have one something like this, but it was stolen:But I was not really happy with the Brother because it didn't connect well with Linux. It promised wi-fi connectivity, but that meant that it advertised its own access point! Not useful, because then I have to connect my computer from the Internet to talk to it! I ended up using it by scanning to its SD card, then transferring the SD card to my laptop.What I really want is one of these scanners where I can put sheets in and have the scans magically appear in a folder on my laptop. If I can't get that, okay, but I would like it as close to that as possible.Does anyone have a scanner like this that they have found works well with their Linux machine?Thanks. ___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
