Publisher's description
From RemoteScan :With RemoteScan your scanner becomes available to any other computer on your network. Plug your scanner into just one computer and access that scanner from any other computer on your network, or from around the world through the Internet. With this software a single flatbed (or any TWAIN compatible) scanner can be shared by other users. A single copy of RemoteScan is less than half the price of a 2nd scanner.
This is the Client version, that connects to the computer with installed Server version of RemoteScan. The server version is available for purchase.

Version: RemoteScan 4.3
"only if scanner sharing was this easy..."
Pros: the publisher description sounds very good
Cons: but it doesn't do what it claims. i have tried to connect to my HP PSC500 and the main problem for me was that the software is not stable. it did freeze my Photoshop CS2 and MGI Photo Suite when i tried to import an image. 1 out of 10 times it worked properly but still even if it does, you are not able to access features if your scanner was connected directly to your computer. i find capturix scan share to be more user friendly and much more stable with additional capabilities. for remotescan, you need to install the software once as server on the machine the scanner is connected to, and on all other computers from which you want to access the scanner you need to install the client software. (server and client are bundled in the same file you just choose when you are installing) in contrast for capturix you just install it on the machine you have your scanner attached and from any other machine you just use the IP assigned to the scanner via any browser. i do not recommend remotescan. my mate who installed remotescan with me at the same time on his computer had similar complaints as i did. good luck!

Version: RemoteScan 4.3
Pros: N/A
Cons: I'll have to agree with dogtired on this. This program does not give the user and idea of what the software can truly do and cannot do. Sharing a scanner seems like a simple thing to do, but apparently such technology does not exist in shareware land.

Version: RemoteScan 4.3
"the download is rubbish and has no functionality"
Pros: there is nothing to like, the program does noting but "supposedly" lets you use a "assumed" scanner in some location.
Cons: It does NOTHING! it is just a lame ploy for you to download a code you enter to get a discount of a program you will never buy because you cant try it with this download...
Ask yourself, would you buy a pig in a bag?
The other 2 reviews on this product are so outrageously lame they have to be planted by piad employees of the company, read them and you decide, dont waste your time on this.

Version: RemoteScan 4.3
"Not perfect for every environment but works great in our case!"
Pros: I have a USB scanner plugged into my workstation at home. Occasically, my husband or son need to scan something and I used to have to stop what I was doing and allow them to sit at my machine to scan. Now, they can use my scanner from their own workstations and I can continue my work!
Cons: Obviously, it doesn't prevent the "remote" user from having to physically place their document into the scanner but at least the user of the "scannner" workstation no longer has to get up from their machine so someone else can scan a document.
