Like Alison we found hand held scanners depended on a very flat surface
and steady hand and a lot of pasting together if the text or picture was
bigger than the scanner head. The data pen was accurate if you managed
to maintain the correct angle with a steady drag across the small section
of text. In the past odd fonts seem to upset them more than the flatbed
scanner with high quality OCR software.
