Reviews around bite (2.01 of 5)

  • This seemed better, but the naming and filing was still a bit tedious (but unavoidable).
  • Every scanned document gave me the same error, "64 bit OS not compatible with device"
  • The software is a bit awkward to use for some tasks, though I haven't bothered to read up on how to use the ScanSnap software nor the Adobe Acrobat software.
  • The Acrobat software is terrible, but it is a little better than the Acrobat Standard 8 that comes bundled with the S500.Overall, I do think they improved a bit on the S500, but not enough where anyone needs to replace their S500 with the S1500.
  • FlexibleConsistent outputA tiny bit pricey, but makes the tedious task of scanning effortless
