LG Electronics LSM-100 Scanner Mouse

Its not user friendly, kind of sorry I bought it. It is hard to master the mouse to get the full page and you need to keep replacing your regular mouse with this because you wouldnt want to use this all the time since he bottom is the scanner glass.

The Scanner Mouse is good but not great. It has a small learning curve. The USB cable that it is attached to seems to get in the way. It is easier to use on large documents such as 8x11 paper and not that easy to use on Calling Cards, receits,etc. The ideal Scanner Mouse would be wireless.

I’m a teacher and it is great to have this scanner. I can scan either text or pictures to make worksheets or tests for my classroom. I’ve recommended this so many times when I’ve attended meetings or gone to conferences. I actually have three - one for school, home, and traveling. It does a great job scanning. It did take me a couple of tries learning how to move the scanner the first couple of times but it is so easy after you master it.

This is a unique product. It functions as a mouse, but also as a portable scanner when used with a laptop.The image resolution is very good and it is easy to use. When scanning at the edge of an image, particularly the edges of a book or magazine, the scanned image tends to get partially rotated. When that happens, I have been unable to get it straightened again and have found the easiest solution is to end the scan and start over, again. Overall, I am happy with this product. I bought it for my wife to use to scan magazine and newspaper articles and sections of catalogs. Seemed like a better solution than having little pieces of articles torn out and stored in an unrecoverable manner (like stuck in a box). Because of the inconsistency of the edge scans, it is not getting much use.

Mouse was not as easy to use or as comfortable as old one. Scanner was not easy to use, especially at the edges of the documents.. Picture scanning was not very good (image). User manual was extremely large, most of it in languages other than english, and one of the WORST, least helpful user manuals I have ever seen. There was nothing in the manual that told how to put a scanned document into word or excell and use the ocr software. Great idea, but a little more efffort in design and a much better manual would have gone a long way.

Back in 2016 through May 2019, I purchased two for my computers. Both worked with no problems. I updated my one computer to the latest Win 10 software. I now receive an error message The procedure entry point FinishOVDXDriver could not be located in the dynamic library C:Program Files (x86)LG Smart ScanOVBaselF.dll. Whatever that means. I searched, there are not any updated files for scanner. I can not find any mention of the scanner on LGs website. Look for a different one as this one is not being supported. When looking at the reviews notice how old they are. It used to work great. It no longer does. I am looking for a different one. LG no longer supports this nor will they respond to requests.

I didnt immediately open or install the LG Electronics mouse, but when I did take the time it was relatively easy to install. I really have not had a chance to thoroughly explore the capabilities of the device, however, with what I have tried I am completely satisfied and look forward to learning to do more with my scanner mouse.

As described fully in the product description it is really good to have for people who travel lot and work off office most of the time. While in office you would prefer to use a scanner which is quite cheaper than this. As it works in both mode, scan and can be use as a mice. But I would recommend only use it while scanning, if you want to use as a mice, buy another cheap one and keep both in you laptop bag. I bought it for my friend in India and he loved it, because its not like US that everyone have personal scanner at home. It is off much much use for him while making presentation, the software it has can easily convert the scanned page text which can be edited in MS Word. I would say it is a quality product.

This amazing device provides the absolute worst of both worlds. Its a slippery-surfaced mouse that feels downright awful in the hand, and a scanner that can barely function. At best, interesting to play with. Once you get past the novelty, youre left with an awful scanner that can take several passes to get a single flat sheet correctly seamed together. And dont even think of scanning out of a bound book, it will slip off of one edge on one side and bump into the binding on the other. Any removal of the mouse from the scanned surface will confuse the scanning software and force you to start over. For half the price, you could get a Cannon flatbed that is the same size as a laptop. If youre really desperate for a scan, scanner software that runs on the iPhone does well with with the build-in camera, too. These far better options have left my LG scanner mouse completely unused. I only wish that I had returned this joke of an accessory in time for a refund.

I bought this scanner because I wanted to scan book pages from recipe books, music books, etc., some sizes larger than an 8.5 x 11. I found that scanning books with smaller (.5) margins were impossible to scan without some excessive work at keeping the sensor on the page and any shift in position caused the scanner to start scanning at a different angle instead of straight. I also found that if you try to scan anything larger than letter-size pages, the scanner memory will run out before youve finished scanning the item, making stitching impossible because when it reconnects to the page, you find you have to start all over. I agree with other reviewers about the cord. The cord is covered in rubber that grips the paper and moves it when youre trying to scan. Nothing can be done about it, other than taping the corners of the sheet to the table surface. Its a huge annoyance. The bad thing is, the cord is positioned level with the scanning surface, so it literally skips across the surface while you scan. A better design would have been to make the cord position higher on the mouse so it doesnt skip across the page along with the scanner and to cover it with a smooth-gliding plastic rather than gripping rubber. Not sure which one of LGs rocket-scientists made that call, but it doesnt work, which is surprising for an LG product. Most LG products are great. This one is not. Further on that subject, you will find NO support for this product on LGs U.S. site. You have to go to the UK site if you want any support or information on this product or to download the latest drivers and software for the product (if the autoupdate quits working within the software, which it does, sadly, leaving you to deal with failed installs.). For me, that kind of raises a skeptical eyebrow as to the reasoning behind the non-U.S. support. If you are scanning flat sheets, it does an ok job, but then flat sheets can be scanned with a regular flat-bed or page scanner better and more efficiently, so why spend money on something like this (unless space is an issue)? If space is an issue, you better keep tape nearby to dock the paper to the surface so the cord doesnt move it. And forget about any type of book scanning. Flatbed scanning is more efficient despite the dark spine sides. Needless to say, Im really bummed that this product didnt work for my needs. Its not perfect, by any means.
