Remember you can download DocuScan Plus from the Mac App store for free and
sign up for a free 7 day test drive. Frankly, that is probably what I would
do if I were you. That way you get the chance to try it on your machine,
with your scanner, and decide for yourself after trying it whether it is for
you or not.

Hi David,
Thanks for all this. I wasn't taking DocuScan that seriously, but after
reading your messages, I'll give it a closer look. My MacBook Pro is two
years old, and the thing that's prompting all this is that I need a new
scanner, because Fujitsu hasn't written Windows 7 drivers for my current
scanner (long sigh, it still works great!)
Please do post an announcement when you're demo is up, I'd love to give it
a listen.
Cheers,
Donna

If you have not heard a demo/review of DocuScan Plus I can post an
announcement here, if you wish, as to when my review of it comes up on
MainMenu. The review has already been submitted, but I'm not sure when
Jamie plans on airing it. I would say probably before the end of June. I
do the biggest part of the demo in Windows, but I do show off doing a few
things using the Mac version too. I think it should be enough for you to
have a fairly good idea how well it does on a 3 year old MacBook Pro whose
processor is much slower than a newer Mac, and it sounds like your scanner
is much faster than mine. I went for portability since I need to carry
laptop and scanner to clients homes or jobsites from time-to-time.

Hi David,
My current scanner is a Fujitsu FI4220C. It scans approx 1 page every 5-7
seconds. I tend to scan books, rather than single page documents. What's
the speed like with DocuScan? Also, what scanner are you using?
TIA,
Donna

Yes, I have used it, but since I now have DocuScan Plus I think I would
opt for DocuScan Plus and if you want the digital camera you could get
the Hover Cam. If you get both the DocuScan Plus and the HoverCam you
will still pay a lot less than Eye-Pal and be able to do much much more
than you can with Eye-Pal for a higher price. I also discovered that the
dpi on the Eye-Pal camera is only 219, which is very low compaired to 300
or higher dpi with a flatbed scanner. I believe the dpi would be at
least 300 with the HoverCam.
Of course, at this time, all the recognition in DocuScan Plus for Mac is
done on the Seratek server. So, you do have to have an internet
connection to make it work. Of course you could always use your iPhone
hotspot for that.

Subject: Abisee?
Hi all,
I have to make a decision about what I'm going to do to upgrade my
scanning setup. As I recall, when last discussed, the consensus seemed
to be that Abisee wasn't quite ready for prime-time. Just wondering if
anyone is using it, and if they are happy with the product?
Thanks in advance for any info.
Best,
Donna
