If you are a Mac user, you probably know that the latest version of Mac OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, has been released today via the Mac App Store. As I have done with Lion and the fun that was Snow Leopard, I am providing this post as a way to share our experience with […]
Continue readingThough the Fujitsu ScanSnap S1300i was announced in June, and I reviewed the S1300i in early July, helpful DocumentSnap reader John has pointed out to me that it is now available from Amazon.com. I mention this because I get a lot of questions from readers asking when Amazon will be carrying it, and I had […]

This is referred to as “batch OCR”. If you have a ScanSnap and a Mac, you can do this using the ABBYY FineReader software that comes with […]
Continue readingFor whatever reason, I have not written about Nuance PaperPort before. I will have to rectify that, but in the meantime I will answer a question that I receive quite a bit: “How do I use the Fujitsu ScanSnap to scan to PaperPort?” There are a number of ways to do this, but I will […]
Continue readingThis post is part of the paperless stories feature at DocumentSnap. Some stories are from readers that have successfully gone paperless, some are still going through it. Would you like to share your story too? Today’s featured DocumentSnap reader is Eileen Reppenhagen, CGA from Delta BC, Canada. She can be found at http://www.taxdetective.ca. What problems […]
Continue readingThe Unofficial ScanSnap Setup Guide I’m happy to announce that the Second Edition of The Unofficial ScanSnap Setup Guide is available as of today.
