What will they come up with next. I appreciated seeing what you scanned too.

The endless possibilities are going around and around in my head, i.e., when visiting relatives who have a document they don't want to "loan" out... I could scan it right there!Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10022611712765114470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1700684286713079888.post-65491281554492696842010-12-28T16:30:28.926-05:002010-12-28T16:30:28.926-05:00I think I might love one of these toys.I think I might love one of these toys.Linda Hughes Hiserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05774876428039197357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1700684286713079888.post-22660329181785674682010-12-28T12:44:10.419-05:002010-12-28T12:44:10.419-05:00Yeah!

Tightly bound books are much more difficult, however; a camera is probably better for them.<br /><br />Sounds like Genea-Santa was really good to you!Greta Koehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05429623811794360612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1700684286713079888.post-88401588940076220262010-12-27T19:35:57.890-05:002010-12-27T19:35:57.890-05:00I think the key is to hold it with one hand in the...I think the key is to hold it with one hand in the middle (instead of with one hand on each end) and move at an even speed. If you start with it straight then it will stay that way because you can't get one end ahead of the other. (Does that make sense?)<br /><br />I bought one a few months ago and have been very happy with the results on legal size docs. I probably wouldn't use it for photos (unless it was my only option) but for text, I'm happy with it.Linda McCauleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08402203453403304529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1700684286713079888.post-67685947492011933412010-12-27T19:16:57.110-05:002010-12-27T19:16:57.110-05:00Hi Leslie Ann - I bought one of these doohickeys f...Hi Leslie Ann - I bought one of these doohickeys for myself last April. It takes A LOT of practice to not only scan straight, but also at the right speed (both matter). I've spent literally hours working with mine, and I typically have to scan each page 3-4 times before I get something useable. It's a wonderful concept, but I find it very hard to use. I have hope that I'll get it right eventually, though. Hopefully you'll get it figured out much more quickly!<br /><br />Merry Christmas to you!Elizabeth O'Nealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03191827688514996520noreply@blogger.com
