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.

Below 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.

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.

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.

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.

It 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.

Software 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.

The 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.

When 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.

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.
