Looking for a good quality scanner, this scanner will be used quite a bit. There will be an approximate 10,000 documents scanned as fast as possible.

I am looking for 3 things.

#1 Good quality
#2 Reliability
#3 Relative speed

Haven't use them for a few years so I can't recommend a model, but always had a good experience with HP scanners. Hopefully your docs are of a size that you can use a document feeder. If not you might want to photocopy them onto letter paper and run them through the scanner.

I also prefer HP for most imaging devices, the software is pretty good.

With such a high volume of scans, I will assume that OCR (Optical Charactefr Recognition) will be needed, so you can simply scan a document and have it as editable text.

Most professionals would chooose an OkiData scanner, they really have the best OCR and quality behind them.

So for professional or heavy usage I'd say choose OkiData (not a cheap one) for general purpose scans I would definitely go for HP, they are cheap and yet still reliable.
