    Great scanner for a great price and it has helped my business. The only issue I am having is that after a couple of uses, my PC stops recognizing it so I have to re-install the drivers

    Smart” in Name Only — Disappointingly Outdated

    |

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I purchased this scanner to help organize important documents, expecting a modern, efficient experience. Unfortunately, that was not the case. While I am now outside the return window, it’s worth noting that this product feels significantly outdated for today’s technology standards. As a Mac user, I had to purchase an additional adapter just to connect the USB cable—an unexpected and frustrating extra step for a scanner marketed as “smart.” This immediately set the tone for an experience that felt old-fashioned rather than streamlined. What should have simplified document organization instead added inconvenience and unnecessary cost. In an era where most devices prioritize seamless compatibility, this scanner falls behind. I hope the manufacturer takes this feedback seriously and considers offering a more modern version—or at the very least clearer compatibility disclosures—so customers don’t run into the same disappointment.

    This was a good purchase, I use to spend lots of money at Fed Ex running scans. Then I found out about this little jewel. Saved me thousands and I am very satisfied.
