I have not personally tried this with Mastercook 14, but I was able to scan and save a text file using previous versions of Mastercook. I scanned, copied and pasted the text file into Mastercook using the Import Assistant feature. If I remember right this worked okay. I had to carefully review each recipe as the scanner did not always accurately scan fractions well. You can not directly scan a recipe using Mastercook. You will have to use a scanner and its software to accomplish the task. See: http://mc6help.tripod.com/ImportAssistant.htm I have not found a recipe program that automatically scans and saves recipes. I have found Mastercook to be the best for importing recipes as it uses Import Assistant or Mastercook Import with MC 14. Another bonus is the ability to spell check recipes before saving them. Hope this helps.

I had the same issue until I open a software program and scan it and it appear on that program as a file that I can edit. I advise you to open a program and then use the m.scanner. it works like a normal scanner.

Not that I know about, but if you have a Mac you can use "image capture" to scan. It comes with the OS. Maybe Windows has something similar.

You will need a cataloging program. I did a quick search and collectorz seems to be an app that people like for scanning CDs. It has support for a barcode and from what I see it will work with the esky scanner. I may have to look into Collectorz myself as I use DVD profiler for our DVDs/BluRays and would actually like something for CDs..

I was very disappointed with this software and tossed it. I can't answer your question. I've wasted a lot of $$$ buying cheap and not so cheap software that promises great results but I ended up with poor quality results. I've been using Stitch ERA Universal, its been free to use online but that will stop in December, and one of their options is to buy a subscription for monthly use. If I need to scan anything, I use CorelDraw and import it into Stitch Era. I'm happy with the results and they've been professional quality. Good Luck!

Yes, Have your pre-purchased product logging software open, then plug in your scanner and it will automatically sync to the software program. Then scan item, it will then appear in your logging software. Hope this helps.

I don't believe it can be done. The scans are separate (can't run simultaneously) and won't save on the same document.

I agree...I have Rack2...but have never used it(never figured out how to use).The included basic software does a great job as is. Greta scanner, great software!

No. You have to scan one side and then the other. It's easy to use the software to combine them into one document, though.

Hello, you can use the Scan Disk, this is what I purchased and it works beautifully! http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=scan+disk

I successfully converted all my recipes from my 1995 Mac version of Master Cook Cooking Light to Master Cook Version 9.0. While all the recipes transferred, my menu's did not. Attaching a recipe to a menu in the older versions was far easier than the current, a major disappointment, but it's still the best software for capturing your own recipes and organizing meals.

Hey Wendy, I haven't used a ScanSnap scanner but my understanding is that it is simply a scanner that comes with some OCR software. I believe you can create searchable PDFs out of it. It sounds like you're wanting to create expense reports which is one of the niche features of Neat Receipts. I have one of their older refurbished scanners and the included software will scan receipts and grab the relevant data out them (date, payee, amount, etc.) I only used it a couple times and it seemed to work okay. Eventually, the Neat Receipts software frustrated me so much that I gave up on it and just used their scanner to create PDFs. Neat Receipts may be a better option for you though, but be sure to read the reviews first. NeatReceipts Mobile Scanner and Digital Filing System

No - if you haven't bought it don't! I bought one several years ago - it worked for about a month. It was glitchy and cumbersome to use. Brother, who makesthe scanner had little/no support.

It will scan anything...decoding it is another matter. I can't confirm whether it will support those standards but $14 you can. :)

Yes! I have been happy with this scanner. Has a reasonable price tag. Good luck!

Actually, she will be able to make an account with Key Ingredient and she can input all her recipes on her computer and then she can sync to the reader and all her recipes will show up on the reader. It's pretty slick for what it is designed for - I love having all my favorite recipes on my kitchen counter. It isn't a ipad or tablet - so if you are looking for apps and a way to surf the internet this is not your device.

Yes. I love this scanner. It is so easy to use. I just connect it to my computer and scan in. You are given the choice of where you want to save what you have scanned.
