![]() (The Neat scanner, is the only portable scanner I know that's slower when it scans in color). Black and white or color documents are all treated the same. ![]() As soon as you feed any kind of paper into it, it spits it back out just as quickly. Honestly, I have no use for the software and I won't hold that against Fujitsu in my scoring.Īnd with that out of the way, let's jump right into the TOV Breakdown!įirst and foremost the ScanSnap is very, very fast. Though it doesn't organize it in any particular manner. Once I designated a folder and opened the software, it showed me everything contained therein (documents, music files, images, etc…). Next is the ScanSnap Organize, and is what it is – an organizer for just about every file you have on your computer. Now you can have a very simple and very easy to use scanner in ScanSnap to handle all your business card storage needs and toss that pile when you're done. For me, and I know most in my field, will find this piece of software most useful, especially after a day of press events and/or conventions and you have a mound of business cards to sort through. Outlook, Excel, Word, etc.), and finally Mobile Linkage (for saving your data on a removable drive). At the top you have six main tabs – Scanner (for scanning your cards), Recognize (for picking up the text on the cards), Email (links directly with your email program), Website (if there is a website on the card, click this tab and it will take you there), Application (to export all your data to Microsoft Office programs i.e. And with CardMinder you get a simple business card organizer that has a more simplified Outlook 2007 appearance. The device comes packaged with additional software such as CardMinder for scanning and storing business cards, ScanSnap Organizer for all your scanned items, and also ABBYY FineReader (for PDFs and other docs).įor me the CardMinder is the most important piece of software to come with the device. You simply feed your document and in seconds it's shooting out the other side (trust me, it's fast). ![]() The ScanSnap scans documents, business cards, images, etc on one side only, fed face up no double side scanning, though you can scan a double-sided document and keep the two items together, thanks to the software. If you close the front lid, the light goes off and the device is inactive. You'll know when the device is on by the scan/stop button which lights up a bright blue. At the top you have a scan/stop button and at its side is a USB port. The differences by comparison to most scanners on the market are its lids – one at the top and one where you feed the paper, which I feel gives it a more "professional" look. The scanner can slip into most carry-ons or messenger bags with ease, though the weight is noticeable (the ScanSnap weighs in at a little more than 12 oz). With the ScanSnap, you'll have about the same functionality, but on a faster scale.įirst off the scanner itself looks about the same as most portable scanners on the market – very sleek and slim. Some like those from "The Neat Company" (formerly known as Neat Receipt) have the additional software to go along with their hardware, so that you're able to track your receipts, documents and business cards. ![]() There are plenty of Portable scanners out on the market, though they all serve the same purpose. Check it out it's the ScanSnap S1100 Mobile Scanner and it rocketh mine world! In the spotlight, is Fujitsu's latest in their lineup of scanners, this one is all about portability. And to actually be reviewing one of their products is a dream come true. Makers of printers, scanners, and other PC components I've long been familiar with the name and what the company produces. Right now I'll keep the focus on the latest company to step into the Val-Cave - Fujitsu. which we're not, actually we're expanding but more on that at another time. Hey folks, Valkor here, churning out the reviews as if TOV was going out of business.
