fiScanner Alternatives

fiScanner

fiScanner is a relatively simple application which should provide for better ease-of-use and functionality when scanning documents in Windows Vista or Windows 7, over the default utility, Windows Fax and Scan. Although fiScanner essentially calls the same function that Windows Fax and Scan uses, it provides a simple but more intuitive interface which allows for basic control over things that Windows Fax and Scan should (but doesn't) provide.

fiScanner supports the 32 and 64 bit versions of Windows Vista and Windows 7, although it has only been tested on a 32 bit Windows 7 platform.
Features

Default filenames and the output folder can be specified before scanning occurs
It can be run in a mode to scan multiple documents one after another, with each having the same base name. (Called 'Batch mode' in the actual interface)
Settings, such as the default filename or whether or not to scan multiple documents at once can be made persistent across scanning sessions
fiScanner is completely self-contained, and no installation is necessary. If settings are saved, then they are stored in the registry. An option is provided to delete all settings as required.

Limitations

fiScanner is still in an alpha stage, and as such, there may be undetected bugs. Please post any such bugs to the forum on the sf.net project page (link in the left column)
