• Plustek OpticSlim M12 Color Portable Scanner
This item weighs less then one pound and is smaller then a soda can. It is silver in color and looks exactly like a ruler/whole puncher you would put inside of a binder. It is a mobile scanner which means it can either reside on your desk or easily move around with you. The best part about portable scanners is you can take them anywhere with you. It does not require a power plug, but rather uses a USB to connect to PC’s or laptops. This item is very simple to use and only has two scanning buttons. There is a regular scan button which scans and transfers items into JPEG, PCX, TIF and BMP. The scan button is more for documents with images or just simply photos, while the other button is more custom. The second button enables transfer of files into Microsoft Word, RFT and HTML format. An excellent feature of the M12 is that you can mount it on your wall! This is a feature that most scanners do not have. Although you do not have to choose this way of presenting the item, you can also simply place it on your desk. OpticSlim scans at 600 dpi resolution. This is lower than other non-portable scanners but is not considered average for portable ones. You can adjust this feature to your liking to increase scanning time. The above is resolution is recommended when scanning photos. This product comes with a carry bag and a desk stand. This provides easy set up and quick pack up for those on the go.

• NeatReceipts Portable Document Scanner
This scanner is white, lightweight and thin. It reminds me of a large version of a ruler. It weights less then one pound and is great for students, busy professionals, doctors, lawyers and many other types of professions and people. This item is so small and slim that it can fit into a laptop case in one of the pockets. Now I have to say that’s an impressive feat! There are a lot of portable scanners out there and a lot of them basically do the same things, but there are not many that I can say can fit into a laptop case. That truly ensures mobility and expresses the word portable to the fullest. NeatReciepts mobile scanner connect via USB cable and is capable of traveling anywhere with you. This hot commodity features 600 dpi resolution and is 10.8’’ wide by 1.6’’ deep by 1.3’’ high. It also is enabled with NeatWorks 4.0 network software.

This item is integrated with 48-bit color depth which allows all images scanned in to have real life color. Most users would recommend this product to a friend and say it functions excellent yet there are always a few that have negative feedback. Some of the negative qualities spoken of are that it has slow integration, if you want to create a PDF file you need to convert the document twice and that when receipts are scanned the item does not interpret well and forces manual entry into Quicken or Excel programs (e.g. if you have a receipt you want to break into parts). Overall users say this scanner is made well and is easy to transport with the carry pouch it comes with. It retails for $229.95 and can be purchased at select stores.

• Fujitsu ScanSnap S300 Mobile Scanner
This item is small, lightweight and silver and black in color. This is one of the easiest portable scanners to use. All you need to do is put the item that you want scanned into the scanner and press SCAN. ScanSnap is simple and cool to use and it is able to scan two sides in the time of one. This is true because it scans both sides of a page at once! This is a great feature to have when you are scanning double sided documents. A scanner of this caliber automatically corrects images and enables excellent transcription. Often with portable scanners one page is fed in at a time yet with this device you can put a load of up to ten papers in at a time and can scan up to eight pages a minute. It is fast, simple to use and can be connected to a USB port when AC power sources are not an option. An attractive aspect of this product is that it automatically detects the size of papers and corrects any skew. If a problem occurs and a blank page is scanned or a page does not scan properly and ends up blank or unreadable this device will remove the blank page from the file. One excellent feature that most scanners have is the capability of PDF converting which of course this item has as well. This is a wonderful component of the product because it allows files to easily be found and organized. You can also search for your files by entering keywords contained within them. A technology like this enables swift and easy searching. Portable scanners are chief for scanning legal documents, doctor’s reports, pathology labs, credit card statements, textbook pages, lottery tickets, insurance cards, credit cards, lisences, ID cards and business cards.

One feature that that I have to rave about is the fact that this portable scanner features Optical Character Recognition which enables all items scanned that have text to be edited.

Who Can Benefit From a Portable Scanner?
After understanding how efficient and effective a portable document scanner is, we need to focus on the consumer who will find this device most useful. More often than not, common people who are of older generations that are not in pace with growing technology will tend to believe that the new hi-tech tools are not for them and they are better off without them. This is a view that should be abandoned right away. A portable document scanner is a device that is sure to help almost anybody, from a student to any older person. In fact, this scanner may just be a necessity in every professional or student’s life. It is a need and not essentially a luxury. Just as a pen comes in handy for every living being in the quest of knowledge, information and sharing, portable document scanners can find a similar role. This article will briefly consider how this device is helpful in the lives of a student, a working man, and an older man.
Students:
The basic idea of a student’s objective for receiving education is to gather information on a daily basis. And unfortunately, owning numerous technical books can cost a fortune. What a student can do instead of spending a lot of money is scan the pages that are of importance to them and immediately transfer the documents to their laptops via USB. This way a soft copy of those pages is obtained in just a matter of minutes. The student can now refer to the information they have scanned at any time that is particularly convenient for them.
Professional:
Let us consider a sales executive who has to knock on several doors or make several calls to get the assigned number of products sold before their working day can end. He or she may well have to save the details of each customer, which consists of coping up with a lot of paper work. The documents can be scanned in a moment, though, which helps by saving their paperwork on the spot. In doing so, they can save a lot of time. An added advantage is the capability to reach more homes or businesses en route, thanks to the valuable saving of time.
Ordinary People, Young or Old
A need may arise for any person to scan a photo, their ID-card, or their passport for some purpose. With a portable scanner, you can do that anytime and anywhere. You can scan your documents at any place and can have them transferred to your notebook or laptop quite easily without having to go back home and find your desktop scanner for this purpose. A portable document scanner is also so light in weight that it can even be carried in your pocket.

Key Benefits of the Best Portable Document Scanners:
Some eye catching features of these mobile devices include:
• More data in less time: You can scan a lot of documents in a jiffy. It saves you time as well as paper!
• Cuts paper usage: Your office will no longer need paper to store information regarding certain events. Think about it, you are actually saving paper, which in turn means you are potentially saving a tree!
• Organize your data: You can organize the data that you have scanned. Better organization of data means faster retrieval of data when the need arises.
• Collection of business cards for all your important customers: You can save a huge number of details on all those customers of yours who mean a lot to you.
• Human intervention is not needed to scan data (except the person using the scanner to scan the documents, of course!): It is well known that manually saved data can at times prove erroneous. But when using a scanner, you do not give error a chance to occur.
• Lightweight: This is the best feature of a portable document scanner. Carry it wherever you want to easily!
