I need a truly fast (lightning-speed) scanner for reproduction of detailed hand-written text. I don't need color at all, just that it's able to handle black & white (and whatever grayscales necessary for softer written text). I need to be scanning at at most 3-4 seconds/page. Is this possible? And what scanner am I looking for then? Yes, yes I'm back. Somewhat.

Digital Camera and a very steady hand? - I don't think you will have much luck finding a scanner that fast !

i don't know about a fast scanner but for repro stuff i always use a digital camera. make a setup with a tripod and then shoot away. i did mostly images tho....aka what syn said. jesus christ was a gangsta rapper. they killed him. he came back and made a platinum album.

HP makes the 8250 and 8290 series scanners that do about 15 pages per minute.. Those can run as much as $1500. They are color scanners, so I bet that B&W scanning would probably be a bit faster.

Umax makes the AV8000S, which is a monster.. It will do up to 35ppm, but this puppy will run a little over $2000.

IMO, Umax makes the best scanners out there. I've had one for almost 10 years now and its been a workhorse.
