> 24 hourBelow are my original comments. I have tried to use it repeatedly to scan and copy excerpts from paper documents. Although I can adapt to the size and buttons of this mega-mouse, it is the cord that ruins it for me. It makes it too unwieldy and any efficiency I would otherwise gain using it is lost. It is better for me to scan all the documents to PDFs and then copy images or markup with PDF Annotator. The software is truly amazing; it stitches together various strokes across a document into a decent rendition. Just a shame about the cord. Back to the drawing board for LG on this one. First, if you are having problems installing from Win 7 64 bit with enclosed disc try closing Anti-virus and right click on .exe file and select run as Administrator. I can never figure out why certain software doesnt just install. I have also done two software updates since getting it installed (12 hours ago) so you might check the support site to see if these updates are listed and can be downloaded directly. Once I got the software working, it is awesome. I review various documents and this will certain streamline of my procedure. Hopefully, LG will continue to develop and support it. A wireless version would be money.

> 24 hourSoftware was difficult to update to windows 10. Once updated the product worked great. I used it as a school teacher for a couple months then put it away for the Summer. Now that school has started again I went to plug it in and it didnt work. Same computer, no updates needed. The mouse buttons worked but it would never move the cursor any more. Company doesnt allow returns on this product. My product was purchased 5 months ago.

> 24 hourI agree with others who have commented that the position of the scan button is not ideal however the scanned image is great - clear and readable.at least for my purposes. The only thing I really do not like is that I constantly am getting software updates and then a window advertising Twitter and three other apps - I think I finally got rid of it by changing my updates to manual rather than automatic.

> 24 hourWhen I first purchased and used this mouse I thought it was great. I gave it to a friend as a gift. I purchased the newer versions but now it isnt working. It wont convert smaller print to text no matter what I do even though my previous version did, It dosent give me a convert to text option, only to image. The cord is heavy and cumbersome and it is quite a time consuming job to use this mouse scanning different kinds of text layout. I am looking for a cordless and something more reliable.

> 24 hourThe new cordless model would make this mouse scanner much easier to use. I like how I can scan my college assignments then have the ability to edit the text. Its still pretty cool.

> 24 hourBack 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.

> 24 hourI’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.

> 24 hourI 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.

> 24 hourThis 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.

> 24 hourIt scanned no better than my old 300 dpi scanner, even when set at 1200dpi and with me scanning back and forth many times. It seems that the software included is improved over older software, but there is still room for improvement. It is a great idea, and will probably become a great product . . . eventually.
