Slate supports all document scanners with TWAIN drivers, which typically includes all commercially available document scanners. While we do not endorse any specific makes or models, we are routinely asked to provide recommendations about scanners appropriate for certain types of workloads.
When documents are scanned into Slate, we record the scanner make and model and associate that information with each document. This enables us to provide the list of scanners most commonly used by the Slate community. Scanners are sorted by their popularity rank as observed during January 2019:
