A small document scanner isn’t something that most people need most of the time, but if you’re applying for a mortgage, dealing with legal matters, or looking to archive a large amount of printed material digitally, it can certainly make your life easier.The simple-to-use, easy-to-set-up, eminently portable Brother ADS-1350W easily won out in our testing by producing better-looking scans of various kinds of documents more quickly than competing models, whether it was tethered to our computer by a USB-C cable or sending the data wirelessly to a computer or a mobile device. Plus, its optical character recognition (OCR) was best in class, and we found Brother’s software easier to use than that of other brands.
