600DPI Colour & Mono HandyScan Handheld Scanner w/ 4GB micro SD (PS410) Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I hope the designer of this product will read my review here, and make it better, because it could be a truly very useful tool.
I really think to some people this little tool can be very helpful. It's light, easy to carry, and works very well.
One thing I really want it changed is the distance from the side edge of the scanner to the line where the scan area starts. This won't be a problem if you just need to scan a piece of paper laying on the table. But once you try to scan a page in a book/thick magazine, you immediately feel the pain, because the scan area can not cover the whole page. As you can imagine, when you hold the scanner and move it from top to the bottom of the page in a book, you can't move the scanner too much to the left to let the scanning area cover the whole page, because the most you can do is to touch the edge of the scanner to the middle of the book. As a result, the scanned image often does not cover the 2 sides of the page. This is extremely painful, and almost make it unusable. I tried to scan from left to right (instead of from top to bottom), but it has its own problems (like you will need to rotate the image, and rotate different way depending odd page or even page).
This is obviously a design flaw. If the product testers have tried to scan book, they will immediately see the problem.
The attached software ABBYY Screenshot Reader does not work on my Windows 7 edition (there is no instructions saying which version of OS the software supports). I have it installed anyway, but then found it cannot be opened. The annoying thing is the computer keeps asking if I should allow ABBYY to access internet. If it cannot even be opened, why does it try to access internet. To download trojans?
