Many of us use the opticbook series of scanners. The new models are the 3800 selling for about $250 and the 4800 selling for $800. I am using the older 3600 and there was an accompanying 4600 in the higher price range. They are book-edge scanners and work very well for scanning bookshare books. Many people donât like it much but Iâd suggest studying the bookshare proofing manual found on their site. Beyond that, there are no particular steps or tricks. Just dive in. If you feel you need a mentor, ask bookshare staff and theyâll get you one.
