Can you use this scanner with another software product? Or is there another product out there that works consistently and effectively?

I think the scanning software has some error correction capabilities It seems to work okay for me.If not maybe a third-party scanning software such as something by nuisance

It actually can. However you need to acquire a Software Development Kit (SDK) compatible with this scanner (there are many out there) and then you can create your own custom applications.

I doubt it....I have Vista and it got cranky with it. I gave up, boxed it and went back to my flatbed scanner. Found a software called VueScan that works pretty well.

Yes it does, but be aware that you will not be able to use this scanner with other software except for what comes with the scanner. Does not support TWAIN / ISIS™, which means that the scanner will not show up as a Twain or Isis device for use within any other applications. Wish I had known this before I bought it as I could not use it for what I wanted.Would be happy to sell you mine which is brand new for say 25% off the price I paid for it. I also purchased the case for it which would be included.

Yes! The scanner works best with documents, books, text of any kind. Easiest printer to setup that I've ever used.

We have win7. We have a very simple laptop and have had no real problems with using the scanner. When scanning in a smaller receipt, I just had to be careful in feeding it in to keep it straight. We love the portability of the scanner and very pleased.

I'm not sure, I used ScanCat lite to program mine but it only supports windows. I would suggest you look around for compatible software or just find someone with a windows based computer to load the scanner.

This scanner is a piece of junk. Mine will not program properly. I have had 2 or 3 other brands of scanners and had no problem!

I don't know about other versions but I'm using Windows 7 Professional and the scanner works fine.

the scanner itself is not the issue, but rather you must have some knowledge of scanning software. Any scanning software that you like can be used with this. You can scan from photo software, video software etc. It has nothing to do with this particlular scanner. With any scanner that you buy, you will have to learn how to use scanning software.

Due to my business travel, I use the scanner on three different computers (macs) and have never encountered any licensing issues nor has it asked me to register the software. Just download the scanner driver from the Internet website or use the cd that comes in the box and you're ready to go. I use it for scanning documents and my expense receipts and it works perfectly.

With my dealings with VuPoint scanners I would suggest you throw it away and buy a better one (more money, but worth it) that has a driver for Windows7or8. Quality copies were rare with my VuPoint.

You can do this with the capture software on a Mac (I have never used it with Windows, but assume it functions similarly). Simultanioisly scan of multiple documents is definitely not a hardware based function on this scanner.

Since you asked the question, you are not prepared to program this scanner. The comments made by Al Buterol on 4/7/2014 are right on target. Go one step further and purchase it from the vendor fully programmed for your area of use. Good luck.

Hi Ben, we never managed to get the scanner to work as our technical help was unable to find the correct drivers Sorry Ann

This scanner works with pc's (USB) it mimics a keyboard for entry of barcode data. For most uses it does not need to be programmed. That being said a good barcode software is helpful for printing and interpreting different formats of barcodes that do exist. I use this model for office inventory (not retail). You will find other people that have ordered this scanner that use it for retail and do not seem to have had any problems.
