According to our scanner expert
With the Fujitsu ScanSnap iX500 document scanner, you can archive all your contracts and invoices with a speed of 50 pages per minute. Position the scanner within range of your WiFi network and you'll be able to wirelessly send your scans to your iOS or Android smartphone, or to the cloud. Automatic text recognition lets you easily turn scans into searchable text documents, allowing you to find important documents with a simple Ctrl+F shortcut. The scanner has double input detection, which means it won't scan post-its, for instance. The scanner also lets you save time with duplex scanning, and thanks to the automatic document feeder, you won't have to insert all your pages separately.

Works great fast. Open the cover and start at the push of a button. Connecting via Wi-Fi takes a little longer than via USB (10 seconds instead of 1 or 2 seconds) but you can work with that. Nice materials, not old. The scan quality is very good and also the text recognition works well enough to search the PDFs. This cannot be set in Dutch, but I suspect that this only serves for optimization. With English the result is fine. There is a lot to personalize within the ScanSnap software. It is also useful that you can switch between your own profiles from the tray icon; for example, 'Business scans' and 'Private scans' if you want to store them in different ways. Scanning to Evernote, e-mail or a few cloud services is also possible, but always with the intervention of a computer/phone. That is also the only drawback, the device remains dependent on another device and does not work autonomously. OCR is also not available in the mobile app, for which a PC is required, while it is done by the processor of the scanner. All good to live with and therefore a perfect device to get rid of those piles of paper. Do backup!

Just a great thing, super simple installation and works right away. Quickly scans stacks of paper and automatically detects duplicates. The detection of blank pages also works flawlessly.
Scans up to 600dpi, so if you're looking for more (for a photo scanner) you'll have to look elsewhere, but for regular paperwork this is really THE choice.

After varying experience with all-in-ones and an ever-increasing need for the smooth effort of large amounts of documents, I finally decided to purchase this rather expensive dedicated scanner. However, it fully lives up to expectations: hassle-free installation of the software (MAC). Scan snap manager works great on mac. All the features in the product specifications I tested work flawlessly. The only comment from the reviews that I can confirm is not always correctly recognizing the page direction. With the latest firmware update, the device now also scans wirelessly to PC/Mac. Scanning and converting to searchable PDF in the same time is an incredible plus.
