I am hoping that ExactScan will add support for the S1300, and am hoping that if it does it will produce good results. All this works seamlessly with ScanSnap Manager, easily scanning multiple page documents in to Preview for further filing. There are so many settings it is entirely possible that it is possible to get good results, but I could not get it to auto-detect the paper size (required to scan both A4 and receipts), auto-detect rotation, auto-detect multiple sides, and produce a good scan with OCR no matter what settings I tried.
I've tried Vuescan a few times, and the results were not great. I'm still using my ScanSnap S1300 with Fujitsu’s ScanSnap Manager under Mojave, but obviously can't continue with it in Catalina (one of many reasons I'm wondering if I will ever update my Mac to Catalina). I feel rescued by VueScan again, and will be buying more licenses for other machines at my office.Ī help page says that ScanSnap does work without an Internet connection, so perhaps the connection is only needed for the “active” version of the installer.įujitsu ScanSnap Mac macOS 10.15 Catalina Privacy Scanner VueScan I originally licensed VueScan because I owned an expensive flatbed scanner whose manufacturer abandoned the Mac. (If you think there’s a functional difference between “sent to the cloud” and “published,” then you haven’t been paying attention.) Usability and availability is one issue, but in both my work as a physician and as an IT security consultant, I regularly scan documents that absolutely must not be published. This is concerning on a number of levels. Something not mentioned in the article is that Fujitsu states that their new (64-bit) scanning software will absolutely require an always-on internet connection in order to do any scanning.
It seems harder to use and has problems with deskewing, color, streaks, and profiles. And as such, VueScan may well rescue your aging ScanSnap from the trash heap.īut I ran into a number of issues that you should be aware of. If you want to do simple scanning, you may have a painless experience, writing JPEG or multi-page PDF files to disk, or using some of VueScan’s many sophisticated advanced features. Some months ago, Fujitsu sent users of older ScanSnap models email informing them that their ScanSnap software would not be updated to 64-bit and would therefore not run under macOS 10.15 Catalina. Finally, a developer was thinking like a customer instead of a scanner! The combination of a simple user interface, intelligent defaults, seamless integration with external apps, and automation of the entire workflow created a user experience that was hard to beat. But the real secret sauce of ScanSnap was the accompanying software that was centered around what you were trying to do rather than making you constantly fiddle with scanning parameters.
