Visioneer
One Touch – Perfect scans at the touch of your finger
About: Visioneer is a world-class developer of intelligent imaging solutions that provide a faster and easier way to capture documents and photographs and integrate them with popular Windows and document imaging applications… Visioneer has a solution for everyone, from the home and small office user to corporate and department workgroups, allowing them to be more creative, communicate more effectively, and increase productivity. Our award-winning products have set the standard in quality and user friendliness.
Visioneer has a full range of scanners, but they are really much much more than ‘just scanners.’ I hadn’t looked at scanners for a long time and am amazed at the things that they can do. You can scan, organize and then use the information you’ve scanned.
Their mobile scanners are perfect for people who work on the go and for people who have home offices. They are compact and portable, but have amazing capabilities. Visioneer can scan receipts, photographs, documents, business cards and more.
But it goes beyond just scanning the image. I can scan the image and it looks just like the image complete with logos/graphics, but the text is automatically converted to pdf form. So the items I scan can be searched, organized, shared…. like other pdf files. Since I just completed my taxes (featuring a big box of messy, faded, disorganized receipts), I am seeing how much easier this will be with Visioneer. After I quickly scan the receipts, I can get rid of the paper and it will be much easier to organize and use them.
The RoadWarrior is a powerful little mobile scanner. It’s small enough to fit in a laptop bag and only weighs 10.6 ounces. The USB power cord makes it easy to scan wherever you are. It will scan receipts and business cards. The business card information can instantly & accurately be transferred to your contact manager (outlook, PDA, smart phone….) And it can also scan larger documents up to 8.5″ x 14″. The RoadWarrior is a great tool for business, personal and school uses.
I got to try out another one of their mobile products – the Strobe 500 Mobile Duplex Color Scanner Plus Docking Station. It has a lot of the same convenience and features of the RoadWarrior but takes it a step further. The scanner is totally portable and can use either a regular or USB power cord. When I’m at home, I can use it’s docking station for more desktop-type features, such as the 20 page automatic document feeder. It can scan 30 double sided images in 1 minute! The scanner fits easily in my laptop bag. The docking station is also quite small when the tray and feeder are “folded” up, so it’s also portable if I’m going to need it when I’m out.
You can check out all the technical specs of these and their other products online. The tech stuff is not my area of expertise. Usually, I have my teens set up new tech devices and then I just deal with the practical and fun business of actually using the product. The setup did involve some stress and some cursing, but once I got over the shock of doing it by myself it was really very easy to get it installed and up and running. And I am quite pleased that I was able to do this ALL BY MYSELF!!!!!!
Visioneer’s technology is impressive. I’m pleased with the basic features and the ability to do things I didn’t think were possible from a home or mobile scanner.
