List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Okay, so I'm very confused. Does one need a Twain scanner to scan text in Linux or not? And speaking of scanners, can any who do scan text in Linux recommend a certain brand and model to me? Um, a flatbed is the standard kind of sit on your desk scanner right? I don't think I want to be carrying my scanner around with me. And the size can be pretty standard too. I was thinking 11 by 14 inches or there abouts. Please recommend off personal experience if you can. And thank you for all your help by the way. I've been quiet for a few days. Trying to research and gather my thoughts and questions with the rest of life going along in the meantime. Anna
