Digital camera reviews of Visioneer OneTouch 7300 USB Ultra-Slimline Flatbed Scanner
Digital camera Review: pleased with my purchase
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought it several months ago. I gave it 5 stars because it fits my scanning needs and worked without a glitch from the git go. Portability is a big plus. Whenever I need it away from home, I just put it in my backpack along with my laptop.
As one of the previous customers mentioned, this model saves images only in .max paperport format. This is very inconvenient indeed. However if you use OCR software with the scanner it usually lets you save scanned images in TIFF (lossless) format recognizable by image editing programs like Adobe Photoshop. That's how I scan images on this one.
I mostly use this scanner for OCR (Optical Character Recognition), and it works smoothly with Abbyy FineReader. So, no issues here with TWAIN compatibility. Scanning speed at 300-600 dpi for grayscale and b&w is adequate.
I wish the underside of the cover would be black not white. When scanning text, it would prevent bleeding through from the back of the page.
For under $80 with no tax and free delivery, it's a good buy.
Digital camera Review: Save yourself the trouble
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm pretty tech savy, and This is by far the worst experience ive had with ANY piece of electronica ever. Dont let the low price fool you, theres a reason for that. The drivers are terrible for this, Uninstalling this scanner requires 4 different programs, tech support charges you money for help (even though I bought this 2 weeks ago), and if you actually get the scanner to work it will take a good 25 minutes to get the 1200 dpi resolution scan. Also the software it comes bundled with (Scansoft Paperport) is horrible, i have 2 gbs of Ram and it ran as if i had 128 mb. the TWAIN compatibility is awful, and it isnt compatible with any third party software. I wish there was something good I could write about this scanner, Aftr 2 weeks I got fed up, returned the scanner and bought an HP. People please do not hurt yourself by buying this awful piece of junk.Digital camera Review: Worst scanner I've owned.
Summary: 1 Stars
I was looking forward to a new scanner after my HP died after just a year. I purchased this one based on the several good reviews on Amazon and other sites.
Now that I have the scanner I am sorely disappointed. The picture quality is horrible. No matter the tweaking I do in the scanner dialog, the picture is faded and grainy.
The software itself is the least useful interface I've ever worked with. The "auto" buttons makes the image worse, the image area recognition has never yet gotten it right, and the most useful feature only applies if you are sending the scan to Paperport, something I never want to do.
Digital camera Review: EXCELLENT PRODUCT FOR THE PRICE
Summary: 5 Stars
This Visioneer scanner is an excellent product for the price and absurdly simple to use. Delivers high quality picture scans, and posseses OCR capability as well. Its sleek design and light weight make it very desktop friendly.Digital camera Review: Crap, Crap, Crap!!!

There is no other way to put it. All Visioneers are garbage. Purchased my 2nd one (after first one died for no reason after a year) and have experienced many problems. Lately it won't let me scan anything because of an error saying to "unlock your scanner". There is no Freakin lock on the darn thing!!! After contacting the company many many times (btw - there customer service sucks! - No telephone number, unless u pay $2 per minute, just a computer-generated machine that unsuccessfully helps you called SARA). I finally put a claim in through the Better Busines Beaureau, there response was that they couldn't send me a new scanner cause it was after 1 year of my purchase, but they would be so kind enough as to let me purchase a new one and give me 25% off of their price (which was probably an elevated price). I told them to kiss off! Anyway - please don't buy this product or any Visioneer product - they Suck!
