 Not Bad - Forget Scanning Thermal Receipts July 21, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I purchased this scanner so that I could begin digitizing all of my receipts into Quicken for my purchases. Thermal receipts are a severe challenge for this scanner. Especially if they are wrinkled or folded. It is a very cool scanner, except it does not have the proper rollers/adhesion to handle thermal paper. For me in my application, it was only worth two stars.
Flexible software May 5, 2008

I bought this scanner for my wife who originally just wanted something to scan in her recipe collection. I was torn between purchasing the RoadWarrior and the Pentax DS Mobile 600. I'm glad I bought this one. The software description of the Pentax is rather scant, so it's hard to compare, but I believe the RoadWarrior wins in terms of flexibility. After using it for a while, my wife wanted to scan in her business card collection. The included BizCard application worked great. She also found the need to scan and OCR documents into Word. No problem. Photos...piece of cake. It has handled every task that we have thrown at it.
Some have complained about the difficulty of getting the scanner to feed straight. We have largely solved that problem by increasing the paper pickup delay to the max setting (1.25 seconds). Also the auto-straightening software is sometimes confused when the original contains a diagonal edge, but that feature is easily turned off.
Cons: When I first installed the scanner, I could not get it to calibrate properly and the scans had light streaks. I called Visioneer tech support and they guided me through downloading and installing a fix from their web site. After that things worked great. The software is a bit clunky (too many mouse clicks to get to the setting you want to change), but you get used to it.
As far as hardware requirements go, my wife runs this on a mini-ITX system with a rather weak processor (1 GHz Via processor, 256 MB). The software performs well even in that environment.
One last piece of advice: when creating pdfs, use the Paperport desktop as the destination for the scan rather than Acrobat Reader. It is much easier to stack and unstack things there as well as do other forms of editing like annotation and cropping.
 Perfect Travel Companion, as well as Desk Top Scanner February 20, 2008

I Love this Scanner! It is extremely easy to use, simple and quite fast. It needs no external power, and only needs the USB port to work. Since it scans text as well as high resolution photo's, it is perfect for eliminating all of those stored papers, articles, recipes, etc. that I had lying around and could never find when I needed them.
I especially like the bundled software - notably PAPERPORT 11. I have been a paperport user for more than 5 years, and cannot live without it anymore. Instead of MS explorer, Paperport creates little bitmaps of each document and allows easy visual views of documents.
Another GREAT bundled software program is the business card scanner. Whenever I go to business trips or, conferences, or seminars - I now scan all of my business cards as well as my travel receipts. The fields automatically populate off of the card, which then get transferred to my outlook contacts. NEVER MISS ANOTHER BUSINESS LEAD!
Again - A PERFECT portable scanner that sits in my home desk drawer until I need it - as well as my suitcase when I travel.
Would make a great gift for any executive in your family......
Excellent scanner December 11, 2007

Scans directly to PDF to open in Adobe Acrobat Reader. Scans photos well. I like that no AC power is needed, is USB powered. On the other hand, software is kind of buggy. At first, software install froze. Upon install, Paperport takes a long time to open. Once it does, works fine. Can scan both sides of page to one file.
