I replaced a epson v500 which included ABBYY software which had OCR. The software with the (ABBYY) V600 did not have OCR. ABBYY wants extra payment for the OCR feature. A Surprise and not a pleasant one?
Getting great results from this scanner. My settings for scanning slides are 3200 DPI and 48bit color. Sometimes the scans add large black borders to the pictures but not often. I re scan and all is good. Not sure what the issue is. This is a good scanner. Im not sure what a more expensive scanner will bring.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Fast scans and very good color/contrast

Okay - I've had this not even twenty-four hours, but I am very pleased w/this scanner. I know this V600 is an older design, but w/ the included SilverScan software, it is fast and the color / contrast is very accurate. I was struggling w/ an old V200 on a Mac. Didn't work well, even w/ third-party software. This V600 is reasonably priced and still available at the office stores. Besides the image quality, I like that the lid clicks part way open, I like that it comes online fast. I know it's an old machine, but it just works! I have some family photos that I didn't want to run through my document quick scanner. The extra effort this scanner takes is worth it. I haven't done any adjustments in SilverScan as all is working like I expect from the default settings. Bravo Epson.
I actually bought this scanner as a replacement for with the same capabilities flor the same one. I'd used it enough where I thought it was starting to wear out. I couldn't find any other scanner for anything close to the V600.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I don't know why I waited so long to get a scanner to digitize my negatives. The learning curve for this scanner is small and produces great images.
I would recommend this to a friend!

It's better than the all in one scanners that everyone is selling. I was disappointed in the ABBYY software. It was old and caused other problems. It would be nice if they included a decent OCR software with it.
