For overhead, we recently purchase one of these, to replace a dying $5000. Unit.
Fujitsu PA03641-B305 ScanSnap SV600 Overhead Book Scanner $506.00
Being from Amazon, try it and if it doesn’t do the job, return it, free. We’re still testing this one.
For flat material this is the work horse we use. It’s a book edge type.

Has anyone purchased an OCR scanner for use with local history/genealogy (or other) materials? Interested in recommendations for equipment, sources, sage counsel,
etc.!
Happy to summarize if others are interested.
Thanks,
