Would this be useful to scan old handwritten Wills and Administrations for genealogy purposes?

Absolutely! That is the very reason I purchased it, and I am pleased. Understand you get a picture of the document, not digitized text. This has proven to be my most useful genealogy tool.

I use it for fine art scanning. It works great. But you have to open the scanning toolbox and set the scanning PPI to 600. Then you get a really, really good quality scan.

Yes you can, the same as with any regular scanner except you have to consider the size. If you do this a lot and want something store receipts and categorize them, you might want to look at Neat Receipts.

I use it for just that! Once in a while, I run into a problem with the page sliding a little. This is due to the thin paper and glossy finish, I believe. I have also noticed with some of these glossy mag pages, lines will appear in the scan... Also due to the gloss finish, I am assuming. But, for the most part, it is great for scanning notes, magazine pages, documents, receipts, etc.

yes, it is a decent scanner, USB supported in most applications. You application must have the ability to use the scanned data, basically it is like a keyboard wedge, anything you would normally input via kbd can be scanned.

Yes. If it is a really old sheet of paper then you might need to ask a professional but if it is regular paper (made with today's technology) I use it all the time. For my school work, genealogy work.... I hope this helps

Yes, of course. It scans anything in pdf format which you can then convert to a jpeg in the Scansnap program.

In my opinion, No it would not. This device is limited in what it scan in terms of paper size and it is very difficult to judge what you actually did scan until you actually view it on your computer or lap top.

You bet it can! I use it for all my sales receipts, warranties, insurance documents, etc. If you're concerned about the size of a receipt, then have no worries. Just place it on the far left and it will go through straight. I've scanned business cards, labels from items I've bought, etc. I honestly don't know what I'd do without this wonderful home scanner. Hope this helps.

I would think so, though I haven't used it for anything like an unabridged dictionary or tall atlas. I'm only using it for my law books right now.

Maybe, but would be difficult, this device is primarily used to check slides for organizing or review. Not recommended for other purposesRecently had all my slides scanned by Fotobridge, did super job.

Yes, it easily scans receipts. I've used it for scanning them for expense reports at work.

Yes. My aunt uses it to see the words and notes in her hymnbook. I use my also for reading the prescription directions on my medicine bottles.

I work in a law firm and have had to scan photographs. Will it scan? Yes. It is a proper scanner for archiving photographs? No. If you need it for the occasional photo, it will suffice. If you are looking to archive a lot of photographs, go with a flatbed scanner made specifically for photographs. Will is scan business cards? Yes.

The tool is good for scanning of pages. Books are not flat enough to scan and I can not recommend it for this purpose.

No- you'd have to sort things in Evernote by folders and tags. But it does do OCR so your scans are searchable.

Yes it is. I have only used it to scan old photos and have had no problems. I know this machine can do so much more.
