Small, fast, easy and smart
Posted27 August 2020
Exactly what I was looking for with a reasonable value for money: Less bulky on a desk than an antique pencil box, more convenient than a flatbed for small papers and individual sheets, convenient with a complete range of flexible software options (multiple sheets, editable output, OCR in most languages, etc.) and a really good output.
