But, “this scanner has exactly what I was looking for. “Initially, I was hesitant to purchase a brand I had never heard of,” begins one five-star reviewer of this scanner from the Houston-based startup Raven.

One who ordered two of these says “They both were easy to install even though computers had different operating systems,” while another describes the set up as quick with “good TWAIN integration.”
It also works with a variety of software.

“We have scanned full size pages and small cash register tape receipts with no problem,” one notes. It takes pages in almost any size.” Its ability to tackle papers of any size is this scanner’s main selling point, and a feature that’s brought up in lots of reviews. So far I scanned over 14,000 sheets, some of them full two sided pages, some were as small as a cash register receipts. “There is hardly anything it won’t swallow. “This little machine ate literally piles and piles of old papers in all possible conditions ranging from nice and smooth to badly wrinkled, torn and otherwise mutilated,” they write. One reviewer, who keeps “tons of old documents, bills, receipts, and other paper junk, 99.9 percent of which I will probably never need to go back to,” turned to this scanner when it was time to digitize their little problem. I scanned a diploma, and the scan looks just like the physical copy, so much that you can see the paper grains.” I think in the day that I’ve had it, I’ve scanned more than 1,200 pictures,” says one reviewer. I’ve been able to whip through my pictures in no time. “The scans go through the Doxie quickly and quietly,” they say, highlighting the device’s ability to auto-detect the size of the item being scanned, a feature that allows them “to go from scanning 8.5 x 11 papers to the small receipts from gas pumps to a standard-sized receipt from Wegmans without having to crop ANY of it.” It works on pictures, too.

More than 500 five-star reviews praise the Doxie for its portability, including one from a shopper who “recently used it to scan several hundred receipts during an eight-hour road trip to another state” and says, “It is perfect for accessibility and portability, and it truly takes the hassle out of scanning.” Although initially skeptical about buying a portable scanner, another reviewer changed their mind as soon as they tried the Doxie. With this Canon scanner, I broke the records down into batches of 100 pages and averaged 30-to-35 minutes per 100 pages.” Some reviewers were concerned this was a dud when they first tried to use it, but, one explains, you just have to “remember to turn the ‘unlock’ switch to ‘unlock’ when you first get the scanner, or it will not work right out of the box.” “The scanner on my printer runs some 40 seconds per page.

“I found myself needing to scan some 600 pages of medical records onto a flash drive in PDF format,” one reviewer writes. “I can put four standard-size photos at a time on the glass, and it takes less than ten seconds to scan and send them to my computer,” writes one reviewer. “It automatically crops each picture into its own photo file.” And because “the scanner door does not need to be closed while scanning,” another reviewer had no problem scanning a sketchbook: “I usually put a small weight (such as a heavy book or paperweight) on top of my sketchbook to keep the paper in contact with the glass while scanning.” And if you just want to scan a regular old piece of paper, that’s no problem either.
It’s a flatbed scanner, which means you can open the lid, place documents or photos right on the glass, and scan multiple pieces at once. The price difference isn’t significant between this and our best-rated pick, but this scanner does offer a different experience.
