As we posted earlier, Windows 7 support wasn’t quite there for ScanSnap when the new operating system was released. Yesterday, Fujitsu sent out a bulletin that at least the updates for the ScanSnap S1500 and S300 have been released. From the email: The ScanSnap compatibility update for Windows 7 with ScanSnap S1500 and S300 is […]
Continue readingUpdate: The Fujitsu ScanSnap S1300 has been released in the US! See this post for details. OK, well, this is pretty hot. It looks like Fujitsu in Japan has a new ScanSnap cooking up called the ScanSnap S1300. Basically, it looks like the love child of the ScanSnap S1500 and the S300, with the “M” […]
Continue readingThe Fujitsu ScanSnap and the Amazon Kindle are two devices that lots and lots of people love. What happens when they are used together? Lots and lots of happiness! Over at the ScanSnap Community site, Megan Fowler did a post outlining how she used her ScanSnap S1500 to scan documents in to her Kindle DX […]

However, I know a lot of people like it, so I thought I’d point out that our good friend the ScanSnap S1500 was featured on an episode of […]
Continue readingWe all know that a desktop scanner like the Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500 or S1500M is good for scanning a whole bunch of documents, but how about scanning an actual book? Came across this video from Japan (I think) where the guy used a heavy duty paper cutter (like this one?) to cut the spine off […]

For example, why does the ScanSnap come with both Abbyy FineReader and Adobe Acrobat? Aren’t they both for doing OCR? I suspect part of the reason that this question comes up is because of my posts about […]
Continue readingJust came across this video that was posted by Michael Sidejas, the Product Marketing Manager for the ScanSnap at Fujitsu. He gives a good demonstration of all the features (new and otherwise) of the Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500 and its bundled software. I like it when companies use video like this so thanks Michael.
