When will this product be available for Mac?

From the Xcanex website: "Development is underway for the MacOS version of the product and was initially scheduled for release in Oct 2013. However with the creation of new features and improvements such as the FlatPage Digital Page Flattening, the development for the MAC OS support had to be halted until these features and improvements were completed and stabilized in order for them to be incorporated in the MAC version's 1st release. The development has resumed on February 2014 and it is now scheduled to be released End of 2014. Once released, the software shall be made available for free download to registered Xcanex owners (This availability is based on our current plan and is subject to change depending on circumstances and resources)." So release is not imminent, if ever, especially with Yosemite on the horizon. I use mine with a retina MacBook Pro, running the Windows Software thru Bootcamp (I use Windows 7 OS). There are some quirks with running on retina Macbooks (with Bootcamp--does not run full screen so some text/icons are very small), but it does work. Perhaps the MB Air, with its lower-resolution screen, would actually work better. Maybe someone with that machine could comment...

The primary development is for the Windows platform, and a Mac OS X version of the scanner software is planned in the future. Possibly about the end of 2014?I'm impressed with the Xcanex and am using it on my MacBook Pro Retina, running Windows 7 under Boot Camp. That's a bit of a hassle and I fervently hope for the Mac software. But the usefulness of this portable document scanner for bound material such as books and journals makes the hassle worthwhile to me.

It was supposed to be released at the end of 2014. Not sure exactly when, but that's what the website advertises. Hope that helps.

On their website they promise software for Macs, but it looks like they've pushed the date forward a few times.

I have been waiting about 6 months. The developer keeps pushing the osx release date later. Luckily I have an windows box also, so i can still use it. And it is a wonderful piece of technology. I just wish it would work with my air, as promised that it would soon, when I bought it.

Oh, I do apologize for the wrong information. Back then it looked like they were dropping the emu line completely, and even on the official forum Creative made it clear that they would put no more effort on the development of Mac drivers. But obviously they changed their mind along the line, and had made some progress. Looks like they have a driver work for Snow Leopard and Lion. But then Mavericks is around the corner now, and Creative still doesn't have a Mountain Lion driver, so I would think hard before purchasing this product at this moment.

It won't Don, the Mac versions "Dragon Dictate" & "MacSpeech" are what you would need and they cost considerably more than the PC Dragon Home. $150.00 to $200.00 new. Maybe you may find a deal on a used version for Mac at Amazon. I bought mine used for about half the price of the new software simply because the box seal was broken. I sure am happy with my Dragon though. Once you get used to it you sure save a lot of time.

In terms of plug and play yes, however I don't believe the software suite will be compatible with Mac.

I'm not sure: I use Macs only. But, I had problems installing it due to its driver - never really got it to work...

The Apple Website says as of 6pm today all new Imac's are preinstalled with Leopard. I wonder when Amazon will start doing the same.

FL Studio is still currently in beta for Mac OSX but could possibly be finished by the time FL 12 comes out. Regardless you can download the mac OSX installer off the image-line website. I would suggest trying the demo as its freely available.

No... It hasn't been updated, but will work fine on an XP operating system... Haven't tried, but it probably works best on a MAC...

It comes preform after for PC, but the description says it's compatible with Mac. You'll just need to format it.

Yes - select the "Mac" version when ordering. I bought mine as a download from Amazon - selected the Mac version and it works perfectly
