Software Reviews of ScanSoft PaperPort 11 [OLD VERSION]
Customer Review: Doesn't work with network drives or scanners!
Summary: 1 Stars
By Nuance's own admission on their website this product will not work with networked scanners. I recently purchased a Canon MX860 (networked) and THEN found out that Paperport won't work with it. Unbelieveable. Their software and support on their website is the worst I've dealt with in a long time. They will NOT get anymore of my money (I purchased full copies of Omnipage Pro 16 and Paperport 11).Customer Review: Good but not great
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased this product to keep track of the many internet receipts as well as written warranties, bills, etc. I receive. I found that direct web capture will not work with Vista. There is a work-around but it requires a few more steps. Also, it works with only a limited number of scanners. I am satisfied with it but do not think it is worth the high cost.Customer Review: Why No Vista?
Summary: 2 Stars
Do NOT get this if you are one of the hundreds of thousands of people out there who had little or no choice than to get a Vista PC. What a waste of money, time, and patience!Customer Review: buyer beware!

Be careful. You might like this software, but Scansoft offers little or no support for advances to your OS. A change like upgrading from Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 to IE8 might be all it takes to make this software obsolete. Then Scansoft will be very happy to sell you...drumroll...Paperport 12! I fell for this with Paperport 5-6, which I absolutely loved. However, due to the lack of adjustment to the flux of the modern computer OS, Scansoft will not be getting anymore of my money. Stay away if you like upgrades.Customer Review: Former great program now almost ruined

ScanSoft PaperPort 11
Back in the mid-1990's, Visioneer marketed the PaperPort - a nice little scanner that sat in between the keyboard and the computer screen. It would scan documents one at a time, from receipts to letters to darn near anything. PaperPort software was incredible! Unfortunately, the nice little scanners are long gone, but the software is still around, this time in version 11.
It is terrible. It does not work very well with my duplex scanner, Brother MFC-8860DN, because it doesn't recognize the duplex function of the machine. The older versions had no problem.
It is also very buggy and very slow.
It is waaay overpriced.
It's too bad that Nuance ruined a great product. I've used almost every version of PaperPort and it has been in decline for at least the last two versions. It needs to be totally re-written. If it was updated and speedy and modern, it could be great again. But until that happens, just scan your documents into pdf files and forget thePaperPort interface. It's not worth the money or expense.
