I am looking at scanners right now with an interest in scanning many different types of text. Most of the scanners I have looked at seem to emphasize scanning photos and images.

I am looking for a flatbed scanner under $200 that scans text well and is fast.

Any suggestions?
 
In my experience the success of OCR is dependent on the document being scanned for text, not the scanner.

OCR is not my primary interest. I am looking to quickly scan text from books and create PDFs from the images.
