The scanner cost substantially more than I actually was willing to spend, but since I had to scan 10 thick folders that I have chosen for this scanner and was not disappointed.
The scanner itself is easy to use and quickly scans and clean quality. The software, however, is the real gem here. The Mac software suite can be freely configured and scans and even recognize business cards and then passes them to the Mac OSX and iOS address further.
The built-in text recognition (must be manually enabled with a check mark) is working properly and all PDF documents are editable and searchable by. The OCR worked well with German and English documents.
All in all, I am more than satisfied with the scanner and would buy it again. Who wants to move to a paperless office should definitely purchase a device of this class and design because it's really easy to set additional feed side by side, which are then immediately scanned on both sides in the duplex mode and reassembled in the correct order of the software.
