Re: [dm-l] Equipment for creating digital facsimiles

For doing mass scanning, take a look at VueScan (http://www.hamrick.com). I have been using it for years, and it has never disappointed me; it is better than any other scanning interface I have tried. Photoshop is the tool of choice for image editing, but VueScan is much better for scanning. You can download a free trial to see if you agree.

For texts (books) then I would say use a scanner. I know someone who did this with a anthology of Old English by Conybeare. The facs. was very good. If you use a scanner you can produce pages as fast as the scanner can scan them. Its up to you really! Also, I would suggest using Photoshop for your imaging program, because that's the best available.
