    Alignment - an important addition

    I bought version 3.0 just before Christmas and expected something a bit better. It does the job, but takes quite a bit of effort.  See my comment #3 for the need for straighten the scans.

    1. Software Installation: clunky and slow, very slow. It took about 20 minutes to completely install the software. It is very important to shut down any anti-virus software first.

    2. Actual Scanning Procedure: There is no alignment bar,so you have to hope that you inserting the document in a straight fashion. It does not hold the large documents well, so you need to push the document a bit while using the other hand to click the SCAN button.

    3. Scan Results: The scan result is high quality, but there is a very important missing feature. There is no alignment option to ensure the document is straight. So some of my scans are crooked. Considering the size of the software (95 MB), I would have expected an option to straighten the scans.

    4. Document Filing: This is the strong point of the program. The scans do a good job of identifying the details in the receipts... sales tax, amount paid, etc. but the Smart Sorting feature is very slow - cleaning, analyzing, filing takes 30+ seconds per document.
