I had older model of this scanner but it was quite worn out so I decided to buy a new one. The price is good and although a bit noisy the scanner provides good quality pictures for personal use. The included software is a bit buggy but after using the older model for several years and the new one for over a month I'm quite happy with the purchase

Nonetheless, provided you don't mind holding down the lid for books and other difficult source material, the Plustek OpticBook 3800's results should prove very pleasing. It's fast and accurate, and when combined with the very latest OCR software, will ...
