ANDU  works, but for the price:

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

FLOWERKING  I really appreciate using ExactScan. Even my home office is well sorted by now.

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!

PONY  I used this for the first time today and like it a lot. I have an old Brother MFC that does little more than answer my fax line and provide the occasional scan. The brother software is awful.

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.....
