A real workhorse. in document scanner

I've been using this scanner for a while and I can say that it's sturdy and pulls in old or curled paper very reliably. I would not skimp on these tools. Their usefulness mainly stems from their reliability and dependable delivery. If these things don't work, you won't save any time, which is why I would recommend not wasting your money on a cheap document scanner. The included OCR software works so well that I was able to scan all my old papers, financial reports, etc. and basically tidy up our filing cabinets. If you use OCR software properly, you can create searchable PDFs. With my desktop search tool, which indexes all files (X1 search), I can find old documents without going through reams of paper. I took this approach for the document database because other products use proprietary formats for the databases that store your documents. The included OCR software (ABBY) has a "Pro" version with more features, but I don't know how. pro analog can be integrated into the scanner.

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product
