Until now, I've been doing that with an old-fashioned flatbed scanner, but that takes ages, particularly with, say, a set of accounts or a tax return. The ScanSnap has a sheetfeeder that sucks documents in, and scans at 18 pages per minute. That's right, 18. Not only that, but it can scan both sides of a sheet simultaneously. So if the document is double sided it will scan 36 pages a minute! Unbelievable.
Get one. Even though it's about £300 plus VAT, it will pay for itself in no time. If you're fairly paperless at the moment, it will cut down on the time you spend scanning, and if you're not, it will save you loads of time and space if your records are electronic documents rather paper.
