Dave Winer, legendary blog and RSS pioneer, recently blogged about picking up a Fujitsu ScanSnap. He wanted to show a picture of it, so he did a comparison that I wouldn’t have thought of: Photo by scriptingnews It looks like he picked up the ScanSnap S300M, but its the same size as the new ScanSnap […]
Continue readingWell, it’s official – the Fujitsu ScanSnap S1300 has been announced and much like Eddie Murphy, it is coming to America. You might remember a while ago I saw it on Amazon Japan and posted about it. Well, now no need to wait for it to come to the US. It’s announced. I don’t see […]
Continue readingAs much of a paperless geek that I am, I normally wouldn’t sit and watch a video of someone scanning and shredding paper. However, I just wanted to point you to this YouTube video by user allenday. He’s got a really cool setup of a ScanSnap S300M, Adobe Acrobat, a Mac Mini, a wall-mounted Sharp […]

For example, why does the ScanSnap come with both Abbyy FineReader and Adobe Acrobat? Aren’t they both for doing OCR?
