A nice little scanner June 17, 2007
D. Ryan (Crozet, VA USA)
32 out of 32 found this review helpful
I looked closely at the NeatReceipts scanner before deciding on this one, but think made the right call.
I have been a Visioneer fan for some time, and I saw one of the Strobes used in my doctor's office and have been interested in one ever since.
The Strobes were overpriced so I never bought one, but broke down and got this one. I figured this was the low end of their line, since the documentation is for the RoadWarrior and the Strobe 100, but when I called Visioneer they told me this one has all the latest hardware in it and buying one of the other models would be a step backward. That made me feel better at least.
I should explain my decision: I used Quicken religiously and have always wanted a way to easily attach receipts to Quicken entries. (Older versions of Quicken had ways to, but they were all iffy and imperfect. Quicken 2007 does allow more direct scanning, although it, too, is pathetic but workable and does work with this scanner). I mention this because it seemed to me that the NeatReceipts scanner's claim to fame is that it reads the receipts and stores them and you can search by them. That's not ultimately what I need. My data is already sorted and I don't need to OCR the receipts--just store them for when I want to see them. Plus, buying this scanner got me PaperPort 11 (I have been using 9, refusing to upgrade due to cost) at no additional cost, which I do use extensively also. A two-for-one deal!
The scanner is actually quite nice. It may not be perfect, or a flatbed, but when I truly look at what I want one for, this is it. I've scanned over 200 receipts with it already and dozens of other documents. It's not as bulky or hard to place on my limited desk space as my old flatbed scanner (Visioneer 9320-USB). Plus, there's no "warm up" time which I always hated.
However, on the flip side, After the unit scans the document quite quickly, it pops up "Converting", which does take way too long for my taste. For a scan that takes say 10 seconds (for an 8.5x11), the conversion process takes 20-30. I THINK that time is dependent on what format you choose to scan to (i.e. Searchable PDFs take longer than PDFs), but I haven't found a format that just "pops" in to Paperport without conversion (I'll note here when you scan from Quicken 2007 into Quicken there is no conversion time--I like that!)
I have also scanned more than a few color photographs with this unit that have come out nicely. I was afraid this was mostly a B&W scanner, but it does well with color as well it seems.
As for difficulties feeding, I can say it is an art. I get more straight than crooked, and Paperport does do a good job straightening them for you, but it is annoying to have to start over. I wouldn't let that "quirk" of this hardware deter you from choosing this unit.
All in all, I am pleased with this purchase and would recommend it to others considering it.
Excellent portable scanner October 22, 2007

This scanner is a great little portable mobile scanning tool. The OneTouch software is wonderful; it scans directly to an application or a file (I use it for PDF's mainly) without ANY intervention. Simply inserting the paper starts the process and in seconds the document is on the PC. I've found the size, USB powered featurer and travel case wonderful for taking it alongside my laptop where it makes quick work of receipts. The scan speed is not as fast as desktop ADF but works well for portable use.
I tried the Neat Receipts solution but it was awfully slow, required very convoluted and large software components and much more complicated than this. Highly recommended for any mobile scanning use.
Scanner won't connect to bundled software April 15, 2007

The scanner is handy and works well, however, it is bundled with Paperport 11 software, but will not scan directly to that software. You can scan to image files, pdfs, Word & Excel docs, but not into Paperport. This was also a problem with the Strobe Pro XP300. Obviously it has not been fixed.

I tried for a week, this scanner is slow, pages don't scan straight, older Strobe Xp are better and faster, Don't buy it ...
Vioneer Lightweight Portable Scanner July 3, 2007
Robert V. Clayton (Honolulu, Hawaii USA)
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
The sheetfeed scanner is excellent for most uses. I use it in conjunction with a flatbed scanner for books and articles.
I scan all tax receipts and am not becoming less paper not yet paperless. this scanner helps me to get paper off my desk quickly after receiving it as I can scan with no effort.
I found the Presto BizCard 5 Software bundled with it took over the scanner and had to be removed. The scanning of the pages face down could be a security precaution for some applications, not in a home scanning environment. It would be easier to see what is being scanned when you are multitasking if the document was face up. Scanner integrates well with Paperport 11 Professional
