Keyscan For Typing And Scanning

While convergence devices may not always be the smartest things around, sometimes people do seem to come out with really smart stuff. Enter the Keyscan, which is a USB keyboard, with a handy sheet-feed scanner built into it. While the sheet-feed scanner won’t do you any good if you want to scan pages from a book, it certainly beats having to have an extra device on your desktop. Scanning is as simple as slotting the paper in through the slot at the top, and the paper will exit at the bottom. The Keyscan currently supports Windows XP and Vista, and costs $160, which isn’t the cheapest scanner around, but that’s the price of convenience, isn’t it?
