E-Book TRAVELSCAN XP 600 ( PS464 ) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This scanner has become my pseudo-fax machine when I travel. It's small enough to fit in my carry-on, hardy enough to stash in my checked luggage, and extremely easy to use. This scanner isn't for high-quality photo scans, but to scan documents, especially when traveling, it's perfect.

Irispen Translator 6 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It was the most horrible experience. The box promisses that the pen will translate from 11 language pairs including German - Russian. When I installed it it comes out that it translates only from English and to English. I called their customer survice in the US. They were totally incompetent and said that the box is incorrect. I talked to the fist represenatative who answered the phone and his supervisor. Next day I called their customer support in Belgium and it comes out that I had to install German language which was on the same CD. After installation it started working, however the translation is absolutely ridiculous. We had several good laughs and returning this product. It can not translate simple sentences, it gives the most ridiculuous translation of individual words and the customer support in the states should be fired if IRIS wants to stay in business

HP ScanJet 2200c Color Flatbed Scanner (C8507A) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I needed a copier/scanner for use at home, and this was a perfect selection. The price was reasonable, and I make copies of bills and other literature that prevent me from taking them to work or to the library, saving lots of time. The hook-up was very easy, and the software setup was the quickest I've experienced when adding hardware. Much recommended!

Wacces MINI HANDY HAND-HELD PORTABLE SCANNER 600dpi Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great scanner. Very small and light. It works fast and the image quality is good. Some things to note: The batteries it came with were dead, leading me to believe intially that the product was faulty. But if this should happen to you, just pop in a fresh pair and you're good to go. Also, there is no internal memory for scanned items, so to do any scanning whatsoever, you need the SD card. Best get that along with purchasing the scanner.
The scanner is perfect for the office or quickly capturing an image or two off a book page, however, although small and thin, don't expect it to get into those hard to reach corners of large books. Though designed to get to most places other scanners cannot, to truly scan an entire book, you'll need to separate the binding in which case you'll be just as well off with a flat bed scanner. But the scanner is still a good accessory for the student on the go.
Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase and recommend this product.

Maycom AR-108AE Air Band & Weather Channel Scanner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought the Maycom AR-108 AE scanner. This is a wonderful little scanner. I have used this for about a week and would highly recommend to people like myself who have a hard time programming scanners. The nice thing about this scanner is you dont have to program it at all. You can just turn it on and press SC and it will continue to scan all the airband. I live 40 miles from the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport and The scanner stays busy all the time. The batterys are also going to last a long time. The instructions for the Radio are not great. You can still find all the Info you need. I wont even try to use the programming as its not needed and very complicated to use. I am very happy with the scanner. It is even easy to use for someone who is almost 66 years old. I have several other scanners but none work as great as this one. I am planning a trip to the airport soon. I love this little scanner.

PS467 Simplex Id Card & Document Scanner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I like this scanner. It works well and when I initially set it up the technical people guided me through quickly as I had a differernt operating system than the scanner was originally equipped to handle. It's very compact and uses just the USB wire. I haven't had any problems after almost a year in use but admittedly I'm not a very demanding user. I do mainly gray scale but on the occasions I have used color or different sizes -- business cards or longer paper, it worked just fine.
That said, I'm now searching for a scanner that can hold multiple pages as this is sheet fed one at a time.

Mustek ScanExpress Scanner (ScanExpress S40) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The scanner, itself, works fine. However, the reason I purchased it was because it advertised that all you had to do was select the format and save the scan.
That's wasn't true. The scanner came with Abbyy 2.0 reader. When it would scan only to a Tiff or pdf file, and NOT to Word or Exel, I called the company.
I was told I needed Abbyy 7 reader or better in order to scan to Word or Excel.
That's not what the advertisement stated, nor what it says on the box.
If it states that it will scan to Word, then they should include all that is necessary for it to do that.
But, as a scanner.... if you want pdf or picture files, it works well.
I needed a document scanner. This wasn't it.

Fujitsu Imaging CG01000-507001 Scanaid Cleaning & Consumable Kit for FI-4120C/FI-4220C Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This kit had exactly what I needed to make a well loved Fujitsu scanner stop misfeeding. The scanner is back to being the workhorse it was designed to be. If your high-end Fujitsu scanner is having trouble pulling just one sheet at a time, or perhaps it isn't pulling a page at all, there is a good chance it just needs some maintenance and this kit is the answer.
The instructions were easy enough for a tech minded person to follow and the results were great.

DS687 Duplex A6 Id Card Scanner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this for duplex scanning of insurance cards. The calibration sheet was too big and I had to cut it down to size. The duplex only works only if you use Ambir's program - which didn't register with XP as a default scanner. Ambir's program worked but didn't seem well integrated with the OS. Also the Duplex scan produced two files (one for front, one for back) - I wanted a single file with front and back!
Unfortunately I had to use another standard scanner driver with my software and it didn't support the duplex scan (even when I selected duplex mode) - defeating the entire point of getting a duplex scanner.
I think the hardware is a nice package and seems well built, but the Dulpex software support is another story.

DocuPen X05 Bluetooth Scanner - 1 x USB - PC, Mac Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This product is, in a word, useless. In two words, useless and expensive.
I am a PhD student in History. I do most of my research in libraries. Some of these libraries do not have copy machines or scanners available, so when I found this product, I thought I had found a perfect solution for scanning multi-page articles from books and periodicals from non-circulating libraries. I am guessing this product was not designed with someone with my needs as a user.
For brevity's sake, I will stick to 3 fatal problems:
- Does not scan as .pdf. Why does this *document* scanner only scan to formats primarily meant for *images* formats (i.e. jpeg, tif)? I have no answer. WHAT THIS MEANS: you will NOT be able to scan multi-page documents as a single document. You will have to scan each page as a separate file. But wait, it gets better...
- The scanner stays "on" only as long as it takes to scan and save. After each file is done saving, it automatically turns off. WHAT THIS MEANS: Any time you have to scan more than one page in a row, you will have to turn on the scanner and wait for it to initialize. "Wow, that's crummy, but I can deal with that," you say...it gets better:
- Do you have a Mac by any chance? (I'm not sure whether this applies to PCs). You know that pesky message that pops up whenever a USB device is pulled out without ejecting it properly? The one that says you may have corrupted the information? WELL, since the device automatically shuts off about 5 seconds after the last active command, as soon as it mounts to your desktop, you have 5 seconds to get any files off of the device, or it will TURN OFF, resulting in an IMPROPER DEVICE REMOVAL error message, not to mention, you will not have your files.
THE SOLUTION: If you are a user with my needs, just use a digital camera. If you have a steady hand, the quality will be virtually the same. You will be able to take images of documents WIDER THAN 10 inches, and while you may not be able to capture them as .pdfs either, you will save a lot of time (I forgot to mention, each file takes 5-10 seconds to save with the DocuPen after scanning). Heck, I've been using my iPhone camera, and it's worked about a lot better than this product.

Canon DR-2080C Color Document Scanner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This unit is small and compact, yet has some very nice features. I especially like the duplexing feature allowing it to scan BOTH sides in the same pass, no flipping a stack of documents over. It works from within Adobe, and Microsoft Office Imaging.
It does have a drawback, however, the drivers are not Windows XP, and it can be a bit disconcerting installing them. I finished the installation with no adverse affects (that I noticed) to my 2 laptops, and a stand alone machine.
If you travel and need a high speed scanner, I highly recommend this unit.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Canon DR-2080C Color Document Scanner

A compact scanner from Canon, the DR-2080 provides high quality color scans and fits onto nearly any convenient surface. A 24-bit color depth provides brilliant colors, while a 600 x 600 dpi maximum resolution ensures that even the fine print is clear and legible.
The DR-2080C connects to a host computer via either a USB 2.0 or SCSI-II port, and supports Windows 95, 98, 2000, ME, XP, and NT operating systems. Able to handle originals up to 8.5 by 14 inches, the DR-2080C still has a very small 11.7-by-3.89-inch footprint, freeing up valuable desktop space for other uses, while a weight of just 5.5 makes transportation a snap.
The included Canon CapturePerfect software provides a quick and easy editing tool for your scans, and sports a scan-to-email feature that lets you send originals directly from the scanner. Optical character recognition allows you to easily create searchable text files out of your scans, while a pre-scan feature lets users adjust scan settings on one page, then apply those settings to an entire batch scan.
Scanning speeds in simplex mode are as fast as 20 ppm, while duplex mode supports speeds of up to 40 ppm. The automatic document feeder lets you scan up to 50 pages with the touch of a button and supports originals of up to 0.2 mm in thickness. The DR-2080C also comes backed with a one year limited warranty.

Baracoda BP0002 BaracodaPencil 2 Scanner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The bluetooth works very well. I had no problem pairing the Pencil2 to my Nokia N800 and to my Sony Vaio laptop. The barcode scanning is rather sub-par. Many densely printed barcodes require multiple scans to register, some are never read. An inexpensive Metrologic scanner had no problem with those. The touted use as a stylus is somewhat marred by the very short point on a wide body - edges of the screen are not accessible, otherwise it is quite handy.
The (Windows only) software that comes with it is rather poor, the upgrade available on Baracoda site is effectively broken. The tech support is nonexistent, as in no answer to e-mails. The support and an upgrade of firmware are realy needed, because Pencil2 forgets the settings on wake-up. If you want a CR suffix, you get to scan the setup barcodes from the programming manual every time the device wakes up.
I use the Pencil2 to scan internally printed barcodes and to capture signatures. It performs those functions very well.

Slim portable Mini USB Multifunctional Business Card Scanner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Cons: no onboard data storage or power supply - has to be hooked to a computer to be used, which greatly diminishes the value of it being "slim and portable."
Poor image quality
poor integration with existing applications
sub-par software - insufficient OCR.
Pros: Nice packaging.
Overall: Not worth it. I've started using over the web OCR with my blackberry instead.

Visioneer StrobePro Sheetfed Scanner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)GOOD review follows! First, this is NOT the best choice for PERFECT scans of photos or fragile documents. It does a perfectly adequate job with snapshots and newspaper clippings, an EXCEPTIONAL job with color or B/W letter-size material. It scans for fliing/fax, OCR or color images, up to 600 DPI.
If you are careful, you can easily feed sheets into this device without trouble. Be patient. It has an included software application that allows scanning multiple succesive sheets to one document, for convienence...but you can separate the pages later! Cool. Or you can group different scans to one document later. Cooler!
The image editing software is pretty darn good. Why? Because it has a decent selection of tools while not being overly complicated to use. You can use it as a desktop-type filing system too.
Some versions of the "Paperport" software export scans to PDF! If you understand what that means, you'll jump for joy...
But you know where the Strobe REALLY excels? You can quickly scan a document, drag it to Word and have about 95% immediately recognized as an editable Word file. Very little re-typing. How many times do you need some information IN your computer at school or work that exists only in a printed form? Wow! And you did this in about 30 seconds...
The Strobe is not perfect, but it does many jobs well enough to overlook that it is not the best solution of any ONE job. But it's the 90% solution for a TON of jobs! Buy it. You will not regret it.

Iriscan Anywhere 2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this scanner hoping for a reasonable Windows 7 compatible solution for trying to a keep a paper-less home office with regards to personal papers. I have a Fujitsu ScanSnap with IRIScan software which was wonderful for fast multi-sheet high quality scanning straight to PDF on Windows XP, but almost immediately obsolete when Vista came out and turned out to have terrible customer service. I also have an HP LaserJet all-in-one which does great quality JPGs at a very slow rate. So when IRIScan offered a great sale I tried out their new Anywhere 2 scanner.
Pros:
- Portability: It does scan without being plugged into a computer or the wall. This is wonderful when I'm going through the backlog of mail and other debris that accumulates in our kitchen.
- Compatibility: Because the SD card can pull out and be put in a card reader, and you can hook up the scanner to a computer via USB and have it recognized just as a USB drive, it will continue to be useful even when operating systems change.
- Software Compatibility: The software does run on Windows 7 64 bit as advertised (as well as on other operating systems).
Cons:
- Poor scan resolution. Although the JPG files are the same size as those created for the same document from my HP scanner, the quality is much poorer. When I print the document back out there is highly visible pixilation. The documents are still usable, but are closer to a poor photo-copy.
- Poor scan brightness. Documents printed on white paper and scanned come out with a gray background. Pictures scanned come out too dark to see all parts of the photo. The scans also show every little wrinkle in a piece of paper.
- Marginal battery life. I fully charged the scanner, unplugged it and started working through my backlog of mail. I scanned roughly 20 pages over 2-3 hours, with the scanner powering off automatically after timeouts between scans. By the end of the 2 hours the scanner was declaring low battery. Standby shouldn't take too much battery, so this suggests it may only make it ~30 pages before the battery dies.
- Picky sheet feeder. If the edge of a paper is bent at all, it's incredibly difficult to get it to feed in. And while you're trying to get the paper to catch, the wheels are turning and the feeder is counting that as part of the page scan. So when I had one page finally catch after 2 seconds, it scanned 2/3 of the page then stopped with the paper still in the scanner.
- Doesn't scan anything larger than 8 1/2 x 11.
- No multi-sheet feeder.
- Notable delay (10+ seconds?) while saving one scan before it can start the next.
- The software to convert JPGs to PDF (as well as Word and other formats) must be done one document at a time. The version that came with my ScanSnap could be set to automatically convert any PDF that landed in a directory to an OCR, text-searchable PDF. It would be great if there were a similar "convert everything" option for the Iriscan Pro 12 software so all the documents I scan could be quickly converted to PDFs.
I will probably keep the scanner, because the portability and convenience of something compatible with my computer will make the difference on me keeping up with all the paperwork around here. But it really is a poor substitute for the ScanSnap, and there is no way I will ever scan photos on this.
