Create faxes from scanner and manage your documents.
Snappy Fax is a fax application and document management system. While the use of a scanner is entirely optional, it is one of the few applications that can actually turn your scanner and fax modem into a fully functional fax machine. You can also receive faxes and the internet can be used as a medium for sending and receiving fax images.
- Fairly easy to use with LOADS of features. It may not have that "pretty" and "sexy" interface that many software developers focus upon. Instead it has the guts to do what you want/need it to do
- Support is great. Updates come with regular frequency, so it is always improving.
Cons
- Some of the interface can be confusing at first, but once you get the hang of it, you be faxin' like a machine.
Summary
- I've tried several options for faxing from a computer. Some had this, others had that. Snappy Fax is the most complete faxing software I could find, especially for the price... its a STEAL
Works Really Well - Great support

Pros
Receives faxes as well as, if not better than, "real" fax machine.
Sending faxes, especially from a scanner is convenient and straight forward.
Tech support is excellent. Using e-mail, I typically get a response within a few hours.
Cons
Adding items to address book is not very intuitive.
Only works well with certain modems. Taylor and Associates are quick to tell you which ones they have had good experiences with and which don't work well.
Summary
I have used this software for over 7 years on all versions of Microsoft Windows from Millennium through 7. I have changed hardware as well as software and Snappy Fax has always worked extremely well for me.
Don't buy!
Kruechief
Pros
The price but since it does not work it really isn't a bargain.
Cons
Inconsistent FAX sending and receiving,
Hard to set up,
Customer support does not exist,
Cover page is unprofessional
Summary
Do not buy this product. It does not work and if you depend on FAX delivery and sending for your business it will cost you customers, time, and money.
GREAT STUFF
kathtea
Pros
lite, fast, easy, not stressful
Cons
I just sent 100 faxes at the click of a button -- none that I can think of
Summary
Brilliant. Does exactly what it says on the box. Sending a fax is as easy as spooling to a printer -- as long as you have a modem.
Couldn't get the software to work.
SoftwareEval
Pros
None, since we couldn't get it to operate.
Cons
Got an error everytime it received a fax.
Summary
Waste of time.
Intuitive interface - Excellent tech support
akashner
Pros
I didn't need help to figure out how to scan and fax.
Support told me in one day how to go to Control Panel -> Administrative->Services->Fax and change it from Auto to Manual, allowing software other than MS Fax and Scan access to my modem.
Cons
None I know of.
Summary
I recommend this software highly. Excellent error messages, explaining what was wrong, and instant response to my query from tech support. The only fax software(of about five I tried that got me past my modem being monopolized by Windows Fax and Scan. Thank you!
Has a nice user interface
catidakiadam
Pros
User Interface and Fax Sending features are fine
Cons
Fax Receive is problematic. I was only able to receive 2 of 20 faxes sent to me. I described the problem in minute detail to SnappyFax Tech support 5 days ago, but have still not received a reply.
Summary
The product is useless to me, if I can't receive fax...
Easy to use and excellent performance!
Hopsnbarley
Pros
Easy set up and use; excellent performance; intuitive; seamless integration with hardware; great service from company.
Cons
Took a little figuring out how to scan and fax, but then no problems.
Summary
A great product for a home office, Snappy fax works seamlessly with my smart ring (or distictive ring if you prefer), and never presents a problem, only a solution.
