The OneTouch 7300 USB scanner also comes with a specialized hinged lid. This allows the user to scan thicker books, magazines and 3D objects better than other non-hinged scanners.Based on Visioneer's innovative OneTouch technology, the OneTouch 7300 USB scanner comes with five buttons to scan, copy, OCR, email, and perform custom tasks. The buttons are pre-configured at the optimal settings for these most common tasks, enabling first-time users to begin scanning immediately. Visioneer scanners with OneTouch technology are designed so that pressing one button takes the user all the way through the scanning task, not just launching the program. Advanced users can quickly learn to customize the buttons for even more power.

 Not a scanner for my needs... April 6, 2005

Have owned 4 flatbed scanners up til now, 3 of which were visioneers. I use these scanners for archiving books and magazines. The 7300 good features: small, slim design. Easy to use for scanning books and magazines. USB powered. THE BAD:I scan all my images at 300 dpi and 8.5 x 11 inches. The 7300 took over 60 seconds to scan a color page (grayscale is about 25 seconds). In contrast, my previous scanner, a visioneer 9320, did a color page in 25 seconds. Also, it saves everything in .max format (in its paperport software), a format only paperport can use. You can convert it into jpeg format but that is just an extra step to do. I use adobe elements to edit the scan and it doesn't recognize the .max format so every scan has to be converted. So I sit a press the enter key = to the number of scans I made. It's operation was quiet except for an annoying squeaking and popping sounds it randomly made. I literally scan thousands of pages every week so speed is important. MY RECOMMENDATION: I have owned a visoneer 9320, 7300, a HP 2400 scanner and a visoneer 7100. The best one is the visioneer 7100 -- Has decent scanning speed, color or grayscale and the scans can be made in bmp format instead of the paperport max format. Adobe elements can open bmp format and when I use elements to convert to jpeg, the pictures, in my opinion, are better looking. All scanners wear out at 25,000 to 30,000 scans (the glass "wears out" with minute scratches on its surface and effects the scan) so if you scan alot of pages, like me, the $50-60 cost of the 7100 is easy on the wallet.
Good for Windows XP, Horrible for any other operating system December 8, 2004

I am a computer technical support professional and have installed many scanners. The OneTouch 7300 by Visioneer is ideal for WindowsXP users that want a portable scanning solution. It is easy to install and quick to use. Unfortunately Visioneer did not test the Windows 2000 drivers and it is impossible to install the scanner drivers that are sent with the machine. After several attempts and after receiving fatal error message each time, I attempted to find tha answer on the Visioneer website. The support page had new drivers listed, but said that you must install the shipped drivers (not possible with Windows 2000). Then I called tech support, and am still on hold, 45 minutes later and no answer, and to top it off it is not a toll free call. While waiting the hold message states to visit their virtual tech support agent "Sara". That was completely useless. So be warned if you are trying to install this printer on any computer not running WindowsXP.

I knew that Visioneer had a bad reputation, but when my HP scanner finally died after six years, I picked this one up primarily because I had an Office Max gift card and that's all they had in this price range. The software installation bluescreened my computer in Windows XP - twice. I tried to run the software anyway and found it confusing and hard to use. It's going back to the store. Look at HP - I've had pretty good luck there - or Canon, which is what I'm going to buy once I get my money back. Visioneer has worked hard over the years to earn its lousy reputation - save yourself the trouble of finding this out for yourself.
UPDATE: I researched a bit and found that Visioneer's software will not work with Windows SP2! On their site they advise that you do a full deletion of SP2 and then install their software. Make sure they've updated their software or offered a patch if you want this scanner, but since SP2 has been around a while, it tells you something about this company, doesn't it???

There is no other way to put it. All Visioneers are garbage. Purchased my 2nd one (after first one died for no reason after a year) and have experienced many problems. Lately it won't let me scan anything because of an error saying to "unlock your scanner". There is no Freakin lock on the darn thing!!! After contacting the company many many times (btw - there customer service sucks! - No telephone number, unless u pay $2 per minute, just a computer-generated machine that unsuccessfully helps you called SARA). I finally put a claim in through the Better Busines Beaureau, there response was that they couldn't send me a new scanner cause it was after 1 year of my purchase, but they would be so kind enough as to let me purchase a new one and give me 25% off of their price (which was probably an elevated price). I told them to kiss off! Anyway - please don't buy this product or any Visioneer product - they Suck!
Worst scanner I've owned. November 28, 2006

I was looking forward to a new scanner after my HP died after just a year. I purchased this one based on the several good reviews on Amazon and other sites.
Now that I have the scanner I am sorely disappointed. The picture quality is horrible. No matter the tweaking I do in the scanner dialog, the picture is faded and grainy.
The software itself is the least useful interface I've ever worked with. The "auto" buttons makes the image worse, the image area recognition has never yet gotten it right, and the most useful feature only applies if you are sending the scan to Paperport, something I never want to do.
