I want one that works as quickly and efficiently as a paper-shredder. Put a stack of different sized, 1- and 2-sided paper into the feeder, have it scan use OCR that is 99% accurate and knows to look for keywords to automatically name and file it into the proper, logical folder location. All this should take place at the touch of a button so I can walk away and have dinner while it's doing this job.<BR/><BR/>Sound complicated? I think it does, but the machines have the ability right now if only someone would develop a software/hardware combo that would be this intelligent. I'd venture to guess that some if not all of these ideas are already being used in the corporate envirnment and will someday trickle down to the consumer but in the meantime, I have a stack of mail to go through.
