The Panasonic KV-S1026C is a throwback to a simpler time when all scanners were beige and manufacturers were not yet expected to focus on things like user experience.
You can see where this review is going.
The KV-S1026C does, in fact, scan things, but I cannot think of a single reason to recommend it to you. It is not a bad scanner. It is just unremarkable.

The ScanSnap iX500 once again proves Fujitsu knows how to do desktop scanners better than everyone else. The iX500 improves the best features of its predecessor, and adds some killer new ones, like the ability to scan to any mobile device straight from the scanner, with no computer required.
The ScanSnap iX500 keeps Fujitsu at the top of our top picks for scanners. Here’s why.
The brand-new Fujitsu ScanSnap iX500 ( here’s the press release) looks like it will once again raise the bar for compact desktop document scanners — before the competition has even caught up.
The big upgrade from the ScanSnap s1500 is the ability to scan without a computer. The iX500 has a built-in image processor and wi-fi, you can scan to memory or to a nearby mobile device. And Fujitsu provides its own app, so you don’t have to wrestle with Eye-Fi.
It’s a bit faster, too, at 25 ppm, and you can read about the other upgrades, like multi-feed detection and more-reliable paper-picking on the iX500 product page.
We’ve got a review unit on the way, and we’ll let you know if the iX500 is good enough to keep a ScanSnap at the top of our best scanner picks.

The Kodak ScanMate i940 is a powerful portable scanner. It’s kind of a portable desktop scanner. Or a desktop portable scanner.
Either way, it is just as fast as the ScanSnap S1500, and it has a document feeder twice the size of the S1300i without much additional bulk.
The ScanMate i940 gets an honorable mention on our best scanner recommendations page. Read on to see why.

Compact desktop document scanners are an essential part of a paperless office, and nearly every major hardware manufacturer has at least one. The Brother ADS-2000 is the latest entrant into a crowded field led by the ScanSnap S1500 that includes the popular (but not very good) NeatDesk and the competent workhorse, the Epson WorkForce Pro GT-S50.
The Brother ADS-2000 has good looks, speed, and value — and one cool feature you won’t find on any other desktop document scanner.

According to the Wirecutter — which advice I generally follow — the Canon ImageFormula P-215 is the best portable scanner. Among its attributes: a 20-page document feeder, embedded software, duplexing, and speed. The Wirecutter called it close between the P-215 and the Fujitsu ScanSnap S1300i, but gave the edge to the Canon. I got a peek at the P-215 at ABA TechShow last year, but I never managed to get a review unit from Canon. Still, the Wirecutter makes a compelling case for it.

The Brother DSMobile 700D is a compact scanner that works as a light-duty desktop scanner as well as for scanning on the go. But although it promises portable duplex scanning at a compelling price point, it doesn’t do so well in practice.
Read on for the good and the bad.
If you were on the fence about the Doxie Go until now, you may want to wait just a little longer get it now. Doxie just announced an upgrade to its portable document scanner, which it will unveil at CES next week. The scanner itself will accept larger documents, including legal-size pages. The Doxie software adds a handful of new features, like document signing and faxing, integration with Dropbox and Basecamp, and more.
Here are the new features, from Doxie’s press release:

“Hi, When will you be reviewing the Fujitsu ScanSnap S1300i?”
by Sam Glover on June 28, 2012 in Legal Technology
Commenter Shaun Benater asks “Hi, When will you be reviewing the Fujitsu ScanSnap S1300i? I look forward to reading your review.”
We already reviewed the S1300, so I followed up with a Fujitsu rep, who told me what the i stands for. Here is the answer:
In short, the i is quite a bit faster, and the software has been upgraded. While you can’t get the speed without buying a new ScanSnap S1300i, you can get the new software updates for your current ScanSnap.
