VueScan ( $40 ) with it's twice weekly updates is OK and a third of the
price of ExactScan, not really a bargain but still a lot less than the
amazingly exorbitant price of $115 that ExactScan are asking.
My question would be why is this software so damn expensive ?
If developers want an easy app to throw together, scanner software
seems to be at the very bottom of the pile. ExactScan works and
works well. If it were $10-15 it would be a killer application that
every Mac user with a scanner would own. Yet the developers want
it to remain a niche tool, and that is a great pity.

buggy (app needs restart every now and then, e.g. when "scan" button disapears
misterious error-windows, that tell nothing what the error is about or what to change (german system)
no help-menu

As I also tried VueScan I don't understand, why some of you insist that the VueScan would support more scanners - I argue the converse! Funny that nobody says which scanner exactly would not be supported. *confused*
In addition I do like the usability (look and feel) and results of ExactScan much more. Try out the optimization tools! Thumps up!
Strong buy!

Whilst this software makes a great replacement, its $115 price tag is just insane. I'll stick with the clunky interface provided by Brother.
Its obviously not aimed at the home market, unless you like throwing $115 to replace software you got for free with your scanner.
I bought the Brother mainly as a fax machine and think its price tag was around the price of this app.....
