I highly recommend the Fujitsu ScanSnap. I've used both their large & "mobile" scanners. For most small (e.g. less than 15-page sheet fed), the "mobile" S1300i will work just fine. They scan front+back simultaneously, have push-button operation, and you can set up various workflows. They integrate with OCR software and various "paperless office solutions". Typical naming conventions are based on the date/time, but you can set up your own conventions (I've never used the OCR content but you might search on the ScanSnap; there is a large user base). Current costs are closer to $250 than $200 -- but I think it'd be money well-spent. (do look for open box deals) http://www.amazon.com/Fujitsu-ScanSnap-S1300i-Document-Scanner/dp/B008HBFADQ/ On Tue, Apr 5, 2016 at 6:47 PM, Chris Hart, MyMacTech.com < chris at chrishart.net> wrote: > > > > > I don't think any either Neat Scanner of Fujitsu ScanSnap -- among the > most popular document scanners with OCR -- name the file based on the > content.
