Brother DSmobile 620

Low cost. Highly portable. Comes with capable document management software with built-in optical character recognition.

Although it comes with business card software, it doesn't handle business cards well.

The Brother DSmobile 620 scanner is suitable for light-duty scanning as a portable or on the desktop, with simplex (one-sided), manual-feed scanning and a low price.

Brother DS-620 Mobile Review

Inexpensive and more than adequate for shorter documents, but doesn't handle large scanning jobs well

Inexpensive, fairly simple to operate, a significant improvement over flatbed models

Poor text recognition, not great for long (10+ page) documents

The provides an inexpensive and dependable scanning option for those that scan somewhat infrequently. If your scanning needs include lots of long documents, however, you're going to want to invest in a more capable model.

Consumer review (argos.co.uk)

Perfect for going paperless. Bad for photos.

Perfect for digitalising 4 shelves of papers. I love mine, but look elsewhere if you want high quality colour scans. Device is sleek, tiny, lightweight, easy to use, quiet and quick with one micro USB cable. For computers without disk drives, drivers...
