Scan documents

My Sister and I went to the Genealogy Library and after having to pay for copies and to make scans. I determined we needed a hand held scanner. I ordered two. Normally, when you want to scan pages in a book, you have to "spread open" the book and this is not good as it is very apt to damage the spine. The handheld makes it very easy to scan pages in a book. But that's not all! The scanner comes with ABBYY Optical Character Recognition software. This allows us to scan a book and then convert images to PDF, Excel Files, MS Word and MS Power Point. But even that's not all! As you probably know, if you put a bunch of scanned pages in a folder, you can easily "search" the folder. This is invaluable for a person who is scanning pages from a book as you don't have to read through a bunch of text in order find what you're looking for. The Scanner runs on two AA Batteries. I used a lot of digital cameras at work and favor the AA Batteries over rechargeable as you can easily change them for fresh batteries and they don't cost much. If you had rechargeable batteries, you'd either have to wait while they recharge or you need to have a spare set. (Shucks, if you have to change out rechargeable batteries in order to keep working, why bother for you can buy a large quantity on Amazon for Peanuts.) I know I've said a lot but I truly believe this is the best deal I've make in a long, long time. Thank You Amazon.

A little complicated to use.Needs to work easier

J'ai tenté plusieurs fois d'installer ce produit sur mon ordinateur. Le CD du produit faisait un bruit bizarre et rien ne se passait. J'ai recommencé plusieurs fois sans succès. Après tous ces essais j'ai décidé de retourner le produit. Dans le pamphlet informatif du produit il est indiqué que la date de création est 2014, le produit est compatible avec Windows XP, Windows 7, et plus. Je crois que Windows XP n'existe plus. Je ne connais pas grand chose en informatique, mais d'après moi ce produit est obsolète.

The scanner does not work. I was sent a defective scanner and need information on how to return it for one that works.
