Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500 price and reviews

The card scan does not grab any information other than name, company, phone and email. Any other information is lost. The information cannot be transferred to Outlook. The knowledge base is worthless. Chat works but they are closed all but work days. Don't buy it.

I am an old guy, techie wannabe, this scanner adds to the ways that I can process papers for storage, email, word search, format, play... It reminds me of my tools: hammer, screwdriver (regular and phillips) assorted nails and screws, and pliers) - you can fix almost anything - this is my first posting, hope it helps someone

We are trying to go paperless, I own a business and get tons of crap that I need to keep around but the filing never stays caught up, so bought this product as an experiment. We are very surprised at the flexibility of the software- most negative scanner reviews seem to focus on the software. The unit very quickly scans docs, processing takes a little while though. Color resolution is not perfect but good enough for business. The bizcard software (OCR) only captures the name, phone, company and email and will export to Outlook, but if you need the address, fax and other info captured you should look at a bizcard scanner such as CardScan. I haven't done a lot of OCR testing yet but so far OCR accuracy appears to be around 90-95%, so you will have to clean up a bit. Overall this unit is very nice for the price.

Get this for documents; it is small, convenient, and comes with some useful software. Do not get this for photos - it damages the photos. For documents I give it 5 stars; for photos I give it 0 stars. Since I purchased it for documents, I am giving it 4 stars overall. The scanner quickly folds and unfolds (and still in a pretty small footprint) making it easy to accommodate on your desk. Note: comes with a full copy of Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard.

same as above

Terrific product. They need to advertise more.

I have been looking for a product to electronically archive all my paper documents painlessly for over a decade. Now that is possible with the S1500 ScanSnap. The scanner is fast and starts scanning with a touch of a button. The included software makes the task of converting to PDF (Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard) and saving into a file organization application (ScanSnap Organizer) as simple as can be. I cannot think of a time when both hardware and software work so flawlessly. This product is simple to use and works as intended without any headaches. The best part of electronically archiving with the S1500 is that the included software contains an OCR program that can turn your scanned documents into searchable PDF, so you can use Acrobat 9 to find the exact content you are looking for. You will not regret owning one.
