PAPERPORT DELUXE 9.0 ENG SINGLE

I've been using Paperport for over 10 years. I've been using Paperport 9 Deluxe since it came out about 4 years ago, and just tried Paperport 12. Believe me, Paperport 9 Deluxe is a great program. It is fast, simple to use, and does just about everything I need it to do. Since issue 9, Nuance has tried to make the program do a bunch of fancy stuff, and they have ruined it. This is the issue to own. If anybody at Nuance reads this, here's a message for you: just re-issue Paperport 9 Deluxe with a small update so we can make notes and annotations on PDF files, and forget all the other fancy stuff. We don't need it.

I have used multiple versions of Paper port starting with version on floppy. It is absurd that now nuance is controloing owner, you have to pay for support. Program constantly locks up when going to folders that have a lot of files in them. Have to start up and immediatly re-sort files. That will lock up the program. Then force shut down and restart computer and program. Now it will open that folder. If browsing folders, expect lock up. I suspect if you are new to paper port and do not have a lot stored in it, you will not have these issues. I have lots of folder and lots of files from many years. Previous versions did not give me these issues, so I bought ver 8 then version 9. Do not recommend 9 except that pdf create and edit is nice. Lots of patients needed. Wish I could get some support.

I've used PaperPort 9 for about 3 years, currently running under Win XP. I love it, my wife loves it, I have bought it for my kids, and recommend it to others. A lawyer friend of mine raves about it. I've had no problems with it. (I had to downlaod and install an upgrade, but more recent production probably has the upgrade already incorporated.) I download bank and credit card statements and other documents to it from the Internet; I store faxed documents in it; I scan checks before I deposit them; I use it to convert documents to pdf so I can e-mail them. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that I wish it were more convenient to do a couple of things; maybe V. 10 adds those features, but for the money, V.9 is a bargain. I just wish I had a faster scanner (what do you expect for $60?) so I could get rid of more paper documents. Highly recommended as a start toward the paperless office.

Works well most (95%) of the time. Slight improvement over v8.

The program does all that was claimed for it and was delivered in excellent time.
Scansoft's poor support is the only reason that I did not award 5 stars. (You should not have to pay for support for a just-purchased product)
