Well, I just downloaded and installed the demo. So far, I like it. I did forget that I had not yet installed the drivers for my flatbed scanner on the mac portion of my macbook pro, so when I attempted to scan for the first time, DocuScan defaulted to using the built-in webcam. However, once I properly installed the scanner, it gave me the choice between the webcam and my scanner. The recognition process took slightly longer than my K1000 typically does, but the quality was actually slightly better. Guess it's a trade-off. In any case, I am loving it so far. I need to play around with it a bit to figure out how to edit and convert files, etc. I will be interested to hear what others think of this product.
