How does this compare to 7 Speed Reading software from eReflect? Has anyone tried both?

AceReader is a far superior product than 7 Speed Reading. It has 830 themed and grade-leveled Reading Comprehension Tests, a wide variety of warm-up and text-based Drills to help you learn proper eye movements, and many different Games to both challenge your skills and entertain you at the same time. It also has a guided Course Mode, as well as a fully customizable Reading Mode, where you can change everything from the font size and color to the speed at which the text is presented. You can import your own text into the program for practicing on things you'd need to read anyway, and it comes with 625 e-books, on all different topics, that you can practice. 7 Speed Reading offers only limited tests and does not allow you to customize. In addition, AceReader offers full customer and tech support to help you through the learning process.

It's really subjective as to whether or not the Rack-2-Filer is worth the extra money. You can certainly do everything you need to do without it, but it adds a nice visual element to your scanned files by creating a virtual bookshelf on which you can create 'binders' for various subjects (financial, home inventory, banking, bills, etc.). Without it, you still have the Scansnap folder in your Windows Explorer, and can sort your scans into any sub-folders you've created, or into your existing folders if you prefer. The only advantage of the Rack-2-Filer is that you can easily read your various scans as if they were pages in a book, turning the pages via mouse click or the central mouse wheel. As a teacher I find this especially useful for course materials, but it's also good for sequential files, like a year's worth of phone bills, for instance. Bottom line: the Rack-2-Filer software gives you a set of 'books' made from your scans, which is great for those who are more image- than text-oriented, but the simple Scansnap software is more than adequate for filing your scans the way you would any other file or scan in the Explorer environment. Hope this helps.

Unfortunately non-software that I have can test it and the hardware itself does not seems to be different physically but I will recommend it as it works good for burning at 6x and the time was 16 min as expected for this device class and if an optical go up from 16x then you maybe need SATA3 but currently it seems does not applies [16× 576 Mbit/s 72 MB/s] because SATA 2 3Gb/s is good up to ~ 290MB/s read and write vs. 6Gb/s is good up to ~ 600mb/s read / write. OS Driver Description - ASUS BW-16D1HT SCSI Cd-Rom Device. So I just hope this information help you to decide.

Haven't heard of this before. I use a 3rd party reader and haven't had any problems, been using it with my 1000x 32gb as well as 800x 32gb.

Far as I know, same unit. I wanted a code reader that reads in plain english

I have both, and the ScanSnap gets my vote. The Neat Receipts idea is great, but the software didn't deliver. It was good at character recognition, but after scanning only 100 documents/receipts or so, it started loading extremely slowly, and got slower and slower each time I scanned a new receipt. It was basically useless, unless you want to wait 10-15 minutes for it to load, and the same amount of time to scan one receipt. I don't know about you, but my paper backlog amounts to a lot more than 100 receipts. I went out and purchased the ScanSnap. There's no character recognition, but if you just want to digitize your documents and receipts, the ScanSnap is your product. Compared to the Neat Receipts scanner (when first purchased) it is as fast (or faster) with single or double sided scanning. It automatically detects blank pages, and it has never once jammed. It creates a pdf wherever you want it saved, and I can easily email the document (which I often do, instead of faxing). ScanSnap is still as fast as the day I opened the box. It gets my vote hands down. Maybe someday they'll add character recognition to the included software.

Hi Andrei. It's pretty quick actually. I never scan more than say 10-15 pages at a time though. The auto feed works great for this too. I actually own 3 of these all-in-ones for various locations.

At 300 dpi auto duplex, the scanning speed is 7 pages a minute to a USB Flash Drive. It is dog slow. Brother skimped on the built in CPU. The Built-in CPU will not scan to an OCR'd PDF. It is a raw PDF that you have to OCR later in Adobe Acrobat or other software. It cannot scan at 600 dpi to a USB Flash Drive.

Sorry, I don't know. It seems fast enough. But since I use it for Time Machine it doesn't matter very much. You can ask LaCie.

5400 is actually better (or at the very least, no worse) than 7200 for large files since the heads spend less time bouncing around the platters trying to find your data. Also once you RAID these, which is what they're designed for, they'll be plenty fast enough that you won't think twice about how fast they spin.

I did a down load of the free RC Desk Pilot and couldn't get it to do more than the basic. I also downloaded the trial version of Clearview (it is a lot better) and had no problem with it. I haven't tried any thing else.

Yes, works fine. So do other readers. Cool reader is a nice one and there is fbreader, ireader, aldiko and others.

It's plenty fast for us. It does an 8 1/2 x 11 in about 3 or 4 seconds (after processing the data - a couple seconds)That's for a relatively small file - lower resolution. Higher resolutions take more time - 1/2 minute or so, maybe.

An easy way to test that out is to have a 3.0 flash drive and transfer a 2-4gig file (a movie works nicely) and compare the speed. The 3.0 is noticeably faster. I found that the instructions that came with my laptop were not reliable in that regard. I hope this of some help to you.

The scanner hardware for both of the scanners is almost identical. While Epson touts the 750's coating, I have yet to see a test that shows there is a significant difference fromt the coating. The 750 does include the fluid mounting tray system but you can find an alternative at betterscanning.com. The additional software may or may not be worth add value. The Monaco software is not the best and it really isn't being supported by Xrite anymore. Silverfast is a nice piece of software IF IF it fits with your working right brain/left brain workflow. Most people either love it or hate it. Vuescan is an alternative. If I were doing it again, I would buy the v700 instead of the v750.

I estimate 90 - 120 seconds to scan a 4 x 6 @ 600 dpi. Compare to ~25 seconds with my flatbed. Definitely not faster than a flatbed. But much easier to carry around.

they are very easy to use-- I would stop reading, and just do it! these will make your system better. Good luck
