Summary: Love this little scanner!
Review: For the price, this is a great little scanner! In fact, the OCR is sometimes better than my HP flatbed at work. I bought it because I am doing a family genealogy and wanted something portable so I didn't have to borrow documents and photos then worry about returning them. Considering the cost, this is the PERFECT solution. It only weighs about 12 oz., fits nicely in my laptop bag and, even though I'm an XP user, I had no problems getting the drivers from Antek within about 24 hours. Since it's so inexpensive compared to the Visioneers, I'm headed to purchase a spare right now!

Summary: Great but...
Review: I am not going to say anything more on the use of this scanner as the other reviews say it all. It is the most sleek and portable scanner. I would expect a usb connection for this scanner instead of a PCA card interface as it cannot be used on most of the destops. I mailed the tech service 4 times by now, and still no replies. I cannot make this work with XP and so I yet dont know whether this works. Can anyone be kind enough to email me the XP drivers I will really appreciate it. My email id is bits_satish2001@hotmail.com. Reduced a star for the tech service.

Summary: All you have to do is ask...
Review: I bought this as a student needing to lighten my backpack (endless photocopies and pages of stuff...) It has been perfect. While the quality isn't necessarily top of the line, it is excellent considering the size and cost. There isn't a lot of software of documentation included, but it really isn't needed.As for the win2k/xp drivers, all you need to do is ask. I sent an email to tech support and the drivers were delivered to my inbox within 15 minutes (Really!) It has been working flawlessly ever since. The only problem I have ever had is remembering to make sure that the paper is inserted all the way, but that isn't the scanner's fault. This scanner has brought me one step closer to being an entirely paper-free student!

Summary: This little scanner has saved my bacon!
Review: I have a lawyer friend who has a completely paperless office using this little scanner. I saw how easy it was to scan documents and had to have one myself. I initially placed the scanner on my "wish list" to remind me to order one at a later time. My mother in law was browsing my "wish list" and beat me to the punch.
On more than one business trip I've had to pull the scanner out and scan documents into .pdf files to be sent via e-mail. It provides great pretty good quality text scanning. Pictures are not too bad either.
Initially I had some problems installing the software on my XP Pro laptop but with a little research on the web, I found the correct drivers and was up and running in no time. I also found that you need to really make sure you feed the document into the scanner straight. Once this little guy starts pulling the paper, you're not going to get it back. I would recommend this scanner to anyone without hesitation.

Summary: A nice little Roadie
Review: I wasn't expecting great image quality at this price, but have been very pleasantly surprised. Have been using with Windows XP Pro without any problem at all. Tech support on Antec website e-mailed XP drivers on request. Paper transport needs a bit of hands on guidance with really small items and sure, USB interface would be nice. But this is a closout, so one should not be expecting state of the art. It's not for the desktop, but it fits very nicely into laptop case and is great for the road. Even with XP, it's a deal at this price if you don't mind making the effort to get the drivers. But it would probably be wise to get them before buying.

Summary: Pretty but doesn't work with Windows XP
Review: If I had known there were no Windows XP drivers for this scanner, I wouldn't have bought it. I went to the Antec website to see about getting some updated drivers, but the site doesn't even mention the Attache scanner. Apparently they have discontinued it and offer no support. My advice: don't buy it if your running Windows XP.

Summary: Works fine with Windows 2000
Review: Like a previous reviewer, I needed to e-mail the company to get drivers for XP/Win2000. They sent them the next day. My laptop still has 2000... software installed easily.
I have to disagree with the reviewer who said this scanner isn't even mentioned on the company's website. At the bottom of http://www.antec-inc.com/support_faqDownload.html they tell you where to e-mail for Attache drivers.
I've only used the scanner in OCR mode... not actually doing OCR, but scanning entry forms etc when I'm on the road. The quality is quite adequate... and the documents are marginally easier to read than when scanned with my Canon LiDE20.
You do need to be a little attentive when feeding paper through the scanner. Be sure it's inserted all the way before clicking on Scan, and making sure it travels straight. Very happy I bought mine, and would do so again. Jane Fleming, MCSE
