The Visioneer RoadWarrior is the perfect companion for the mobile professional. Weighing just 10.6 ounces, it produces fast and easy 36-bit color scans to organize all of your receipts, business cards, documents and photos up to 600 dpi in all major file formats including searchable PDF. The RoadWarrior packs easily in a laptop bag and is powered by the USB port to scan wherever AC power is unavailable. Bundled software includes ScanSoft PaperPort, the industry's leading desktop and image management software.

Summary: Excellent
Comment: This is a great little device that I highly recommend. Only complaints are: 1) the user-interface to adjust image properties is a little counter-intuitive -- you right click on an icon that doesn't seem like something you're supposed to right-click on. 2) Sometimes it is hard to make the paper go straight through without fooling the machine into prematurely starting to scan.

Summary: warrior
Comment: good product, main use would be for the person on the go scanning recipts and such, scans well, software good, if looking for great quality stuff that scans real straight without any distortion especially on letter size, go with a full size flatbed.

Summary: Not Bad - Forget Scanning Thermal Receipts
Comment: I purchased this scanner so that I could begin digitizing all of my receipts into Quicken for my purchases. Thermal receipts are a severe challenge for this scanner. Especially if they are wrinkled or folded. It is a very cool scanner, except it does not have the proper rollers/adhesion to handle thermal paper. For me in my application, it was only worth two stars.

Summary: Flexible software
Comment: I bought this scanner for my wife who originally just wanted something to scan in her recipe collection. I was torn between purchasing the RoadWarrior and the Pentax DS Mobile 600. I'm glad I bought this one. The software description of the Pentax is rather scant, so it's hard to compare, but I believe the RoadWarrior wins in terms of flexibility. After using it for a while, my wife wanted to scan in her business card collection. The included BizCard application worked great. She also found the need to scan and OCR documents into Word. No problem. Photos...piece of cake. It has handled every task that we have thrown at it.
Some have complained about the difficulty of getting the scanner to feed straight. We have largely solved that problem by increasing the paper pickup delay to the max setting (1.25 seconds). Also the auto-straightening software is sometimes confused when the original contains a diagonal edge, but that feature is easily turned off.
Cons: When I first installed the scanner, I could not get it to calibrate properly and the scans had light streaks. I called Visioneer tech support and they guided me through downloading and installing a fix from their web site. After that things worked great. The software is a bit clunky (too many mouse clicks to get to the setting you want to change), but you get used to it.
As far as hardware requirements go, my wife runs this on a mini-ITX system with a rather weak processor (1 GHz Via processor, 256 MB). The software performs well even in that environment.
One last piece of advice: when creating pdfs, use the Paperport desktop as the destination for the scan rather than Acrobat Reader. It is much easier to stack and unstack things there as well as do other forms of editing like annotation and cropping.
