Nobody is forcing you to buy the camera. If you have a scanner that works with the Mac, you can use that. I don't know what you mean when you say that they are jerking extra money out of you.

Original message:
If you check the HoverCam website you can buy the T5V for $319.99 I do
believe! So although you think the actual program is lightly prices they are
jerking the extra $180 bucks out of you for the camera!

Ashley, I'd like to see the ability to scan/store locally as well as the
cloud perhaps; however, I concur with your comments. I thought it was
possible to scan/store locally, but I guess all the OCR occurs in the cloud
and that presents some issues for me. A really neat idea though.

I would pay for a product like this, if they removed the cloud features
and just had 1 simple program, that could perform everything on the local
computer. I would buy this straight away for college, but my macbook isn't
always connected to the internet. The cloud is OK for some things, but
seriously developers, this is getting rediculous.

WHat do you feel is a fair price? This is a serious question. I have read
a number of messages where people have said the cost is to high. SO, what is
a fair price? What about the cost of a product like ABBYY Fine Reader at
$100. Is that a fair price? How do you equate a fair price based on
features?

Hi.

I think looking at this price in a positive light just because it's
lower is what keeps the prices high. It's accepted.

Be nice if they would toss in the camera for a few dollars more. :)
I gather with the camera it would be almost $500. I would like to
see a demo on the Mac actually. THis is certainly a better deal than
most other products on the market that are geared toward the blind
and visually impaired user. Now I may also be wrong, but didn't the
$299 also give you access to the web-based product and something on
the iOS platform>  assuming that becomes available?

Hi Kevin
I made a quick test this morning with my canon lide 100 and it worked.
Now it is intresting to see if it can make something readable out
of swedish text. If so I deffently gonna buy this. More simple
solution than use vuescan, to abbyy, and to textedit wich works
well but very much work to get a document scanned.
Regards Tony

Hey folks. SO glad to see this is finally available on the mac.
One
question
comes to mind as I am not as familiar with this product. Does this
only
work
with cameras like the hover cam, or can I use it with a cheap
Canoscan
25?
Thanks so much.

Kevin

P. S. I wonder if they are considering doing something for the
iPhone.

Hello Listers.
DocuScan is now mac compatible and can be found on the mac app store.
Don't get too excited though, unless you have $299.00 to burn on it.
Hope this actually benefits someone.
