[ale] [ALE] Linux happy scanner with dual sided sheet feed?

[Tom Freeman]

Vuescan looks interesting and it is something to definitely keep in mind.

At the moment, it is the hardware part of the equation which needs 
sorting. The material to be captured is quizzes and tests, which are 
printed double sided and normally stapled for 25 students. Essentially 50 
to 250 sheets per run which is a fair bit of work to run by hand. Adding 
the staple removal and reassembly steps to a project that runs at least 
once a week, my time cost appears loaded to the physical process of 
scanning.

Thank you for pointing out what looks to be a fine software product for 
when making that part of the process becomes more important.
