OK -- not very intuitive and poorly supported software.

I've owned this scanner for about two years. I bought it because it also offered a document feeder for photos and business cards, as well as negative and slide capabilities. The document feeder sporadically works and jams often -- not worth the effort.

Also, the software provided was on a CD and works ONLY with Windows XP. While Epson provides updated software, another five companies also provided software for the scanner. One, Smart Panel, is almost critical to the scanner. Unfortunately, Epson doesn't support the software and refers the customer to another software company (Newsoft).

I'd recommend going with another company that offers better support for their product.

Hardware was good. Software not so good. Had to go to Facebook for more detailed instructions.

So I bought largely for the one button backup operation, though I though the other features of the software would be nice if they worked.  Honestly it is buggy and crashes every time it tries to back up outlook, which was the main purpose of using, but the software seems to have other issues as well. I bought one for a co-worker too who was less tech savvy, and he could not get it to work either.  Ended up just using it like any other external hard drive, doing all my own manual backups.  Would probably buy another brand with better software in the future, or download some other software.

Simply put, my idea of decent CD burning software is one which supplies you options for copying, organizing, and storing information on a compact disk, and interacts with your hardware to get the job done. It should also interefere with the computer and its operating system as little as possible. Nero's software did none of the above for me. The software provides "wizards" to aid the inexperienced software user through the burning process; it also allows you to bypass the wizards and manually control settings. Either way, the software behaves clumsily. The "wizards" are idiodic examples of cryptic pseudo-simplicity which performed poorly for me, while the manual settings are arcane and difficult to manipulate. The software does not come with a printed manual, but with an extremely awkwardly written electronic version (in fact, I think the manual might just be incorrect, as I followed its "Step by Step Instructions for Copying a CD" and found out the steps to be incomplete and to produce results inconsistent with those listed in the manual) which one must click back and forth onscreen between software and instructions. In addition, loading the software on my computer (which is equiped with Windows 98 SE) produced DLL errors which interfered with the computer's operations and were time consuming to fix. In sum, instead of accomplishing the business at hand, this software forced me to decipher its impossible instructions and to hunt down DLL files and tinker with my computer -- a colossal waste of time.

The hardware works fine ... it does everything it is supposed to do.  However, the software they supply to interact with the camera is awful.

Much of the software set-up was counter-intuitive, and the documentation they provide is nearly useless.  When I ran into some problems (after I had owned for about 8 months) I downloaded and installed the software update.  However, the install program for the new version didn't properly deal with the previous version's DLL's and after installing the new version the application refused to run at all.  I contacted their support group and their only suggestion was that I find a backup of my system from prior to installing their software and restore my system.

Conclusion:  If you buy this camera plan on either spending lots of time screwing with the software, or else buy a different software package (there are several out there that work with TrendNet cameras).

The software is user UNfriendly compared to a previous version.  Also it would be nice if the "help" or "techs", were in the USA. And english speaking individuals.

I had high hopes for this unit and quicky discoverd it ain't what I'm loking for. For starters, the company openly states their goal as being to use their consumer electronics products as simple proof-of-concept products to highlight what the hardware and softare can do. They're not their to provide end-solutions - they're an OEM manufacturerer. That justifies the beta software, which I installed and ended up frying my machine, so it's going back tomorrow. Also keep in mind that it's a shell with bare-bones functionality, and you're expected to downlaod and run a thrird party app to actually mke it run, There are 2 or 3 available, but that's a lot less palatable than having the functiomality built it.

Good Luck!'

Bought this at a great deal on Amazon.com -- The product hardware sensors work great.. however the Drivers + Software need some more work.  Sometimes it's too sensitive and detects unwanted scrolls and other times it's not sensitive enough and I have to swipe a second time (can get frustrating).

Also note, there is no default Middle-Click option.  Cannot bind Left+Right click to act as middle click.

Swipe area should have an option to double-tap or similar and route to a double-click option, but there is none.

Like I said, software has a bit of ways to go yet.

Software arrived brand new and as is.  The program is OK, and not really that self-explanatory.  TurboTax I would expect to be better, but the price tag is 3 times more than this.  I will continue to muster through this software for the 1041 form. There are potential bugs in the program in my opinion.  The help menu is not that detailed and not really that helpful.

The device itself seems to work fine. I mainly got this to transfer old Vhs Footage from home videos to the PC so I could gently enhance it and possibly make copies for family members. The first problem is that the software had a lot of difficulties installing on my computer. I've got a windows 7 OS, which is fully compatible as well as the ram and other stuff needed. The Easycap itself has problems with getting a working driver.

My second issue, after jumping through hoops was to ge the device to work along with the supplied software. The app software is a bit cryptic. There's no help screen nor is there any kind of tutorial. I pretty much just flew by the seat of my pants until I decided to find a youtube video where a very helpful person stated that the included software does nothing to get the video onto your pc and that you should download a program called Debut. I did this and had very limited results. Mostly a crackly video that was kind of hard to make out.
Shortly afterwards, my computer crashed multiple times for unknown reasons. I then uninstalled everything and set the projects aside.

Before I go too far in this review, I'd like to state that the instructions are very poorly typed out and are in broken english. Some of it makes sense, but a great deal of it is simply nonsense.

In conclusion, if you know what you're doing and you have all the right equipment, This is probably a great device. Otherwise, it's fairly difficult to grasp and understand. I know my way around cameras, computers and editing software, but this one just was too far off.

The character recognition is not very smart, needs lots of edits. Also the software is not really compatible with any post-xp versions of windows, even if you install it in compatibility mode.

The hardware is "okay" (say 3 of 5) in that it works and its hard to argue with the price.
The software, by contrast, is a disaster. Weak interface, slow to use, annoying, and ill suited to current (2017) operating systems.

Mostly I was frustrated by the fact that my unit did not come in a box and had no documentation/instructions. I'm keeping the product, but cannot even come close to a 'recommendation'.

Worth the price but they really need to re-do their software. Their "custom" non-standard interface can be frustrating to use.

There are some minor table formatting problems in some of the entries.

it will do what you need it to do but its a lot of trouble to get it to do what it needs to do. the software is absolute crap and will not work on any other program other than the program it comes with. also the driver for the capture card is not on the disk it came with i had to hunt the driver down online.

This is not my first usb tv tuner, but it is my first experience with avermedia products. It works, the software is poorly designed, even by 10 year old standards. Navigation is not very intuitive, moving from one screen to almost always requires multiple clicks. The design graphics step on each other even when you change the resolution. The documentation does help you figure out some of the basic features. I wish they had spent more time on the software's main purpose instead of adding features for photo viewing and music that most people are not buying this product to use.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.  The software is horrible.  I've had 3 occasions, where after recording 1 hour sessions, it left me with about 6 seconds of video.  (That means, I have to rewind whatever I'm transferring, and start it all over again.)  Which might not be that bad if the software had an undo button, which it doesn't!?  How can you put out an editing software that doesn't even have a way to undo?  The software is minimalist in the extreme.  I mean, come on, it's just a glorified patch cable, you'd think the software would be at least semi-robust, but, no, it's just enough to maybe do the job.  I feel for whoever doesn't get the "Plus" version.  There is no way to save your settings.  Every time you start a new job, you have to reselect everything.  It doesn' even remember the drive I want to save it to.  I know what the thing is called, "vhs to dvd", but, who uses dvd's anymore?  When I choose the computer to save to, by default, it wants to save to my C drive.  Well, my C drive is a 500gb SSD, I naturally want to save it to one of my 3 1tb HDD's, duh.  It's not very intuitive, I suppose some of my complaints have a solution, and I just haven't explored the software enough, but, I doubt it.  Oh, if you decide to use some of the options like noise reduction/color correction, be prepared to wait....... a while.  A job I started 2 hours ago, with 1 hr of video, is just now 26% done.  I had one go overnight, in the morning, it was at 87%  I don't think my systems at fault here either, I'm using a i5 4670 with 16gb of ram, so, it's not the latest and greatest, but, it'll do anything else I want, quite fast.

I got this as a present.  It works ok as a music player, but the interfaces on the player and the software client are not very good.

In an effort to copy the iPod, they tried to make as few buttons as possible.  There us a back button on the player itself and the touchpad itself.  Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't depending on what mode you are in.  There is no easy way to just jump to what is playing.  And there is only ONE way to access the volume, and that's when you are viewing the actual song you are playing.

As far as the software, it needs a total overhaul.  You can't seem to view your collection and what's on your player at the same time.  Aside from right clicking, I still have no idea how to add music.

Another thing?  What is the Zune?  Is it the player, or the desktop software?  Who the heck knows?

Overall, the Zune works once you get everything set up, but once this breaks I will be going back to the iPod.
