Receipts scanner and the stuff nobody tells you
Optical character recognition software is also often included when you buy a portable scanner. With this software, your scanned documents can later then be edited, copied, backed up, and otherwise be handled just as easily as you would any other digital file. The resulting digital files are compatible with a wide range of word processing software. Portable scanner of the sheetfed variety is also particularly useful if you typically have to scan several documents at a time. The good news is that most of these devices don't weigh all that much.
