Have you received any answers? What have you decided on or tried for your own solutions? I am in the same situation as you and have just received my HDHR and haven't had any luck in finding any posts about this.

You need a full printer for this software. So just do the usual process of making sure it's compatible with your computer.

Indeed, Windows 8 isn't 100% stable yet. I think that Ubuntu or W7 are good choices.

The software support for this model is being discontinued in Dec 2014. I am not sure if they are releasing another model though

Hi : I recived no answers to this post from November, however, I did a quick survey of the "Compatible with list". I want to stick with Win XP, so there are not many choices, and the ones I surveyed all looked, well, less easy than my trusty VCR.However, I am ready to look again and share info.Regards

Works fine for me but I would recommend using a lightweight distro. What are you planning on using it for?

The included software works, but is not very good. Other free options for Windows are ThermoHID and Utac. I ran Utac for a year or two, then found ThermoHID fit my needs better, and is a bit more stable.

You are supposed to be able to depending on the software you are using. I didn't have any faults so I can't say for sure, but the option is there.

I actually already had Dragon and bought this specifically to work with it so I can't say for sure. However, my guess is the full version would always be optimal and more stable.

I wouldn't know, as I've mostly used it with Linux. When I briefly tried it on Windows, I used the software that came with it.

I use a Mac and the software works fine for me. It is not the end all in software but for what I needed it was fine.

The only problem with Silverfast software is that it doesn't work on a 64bit system. Neither the Ai or the SE. Seems a bit archaic. I've an 8gig 64bit system so I can process large files. My 6x6 transparencies come in at about 90megs each at a fairly low resolution. Wish i could find another option.

Yes you will need software ware to run this program works best with Photoshop!

I think align would be the best option due to automatic recognition and programming. However castle is a very good Esc

I worked with the developer of InControl and he was able to get these working with the software. Knowing this, I'd purchase and hope micasaverde vera could support them as they are so much cheaper than anywhere else. You could always try it.

It works just fine with XP. The hardware is well-supported. It is the software you want to be concerned about.

To Guy J. Clark. Thank you so much for mentioning VueScan! I've tried several other software front-ends with this scanner, and VueScan is definitely the best for this scanner. I also have a Cannon scanner for my usual work, and VueScan is as versatile as the Cannon software. (Using it with Win7)
