There is no freeware version; the only purpose of the ability to install
it without buying it is to let you see how it works. NOT to actually
USE it.

That said, and recognizing that just because you can try it out to see
if it works with your scanner and how the user interface works, it is
still NOT free (by any definition of the term) .... It is a VERY good
scanning program. By ALL accounts of those knowledgeable about the subject.

I think my point was lost.
I wasn't saying that VueScan was THE answer but, rather, had the OP even
made an attempt to look for himself he had lots to choose from.
Sort of along the lines of the a fish vs. how to fish story.

I understand your point, but presumably he's looking for more than a
list such applications that exist. He's looking for recommendations of
GOOD such applications that exist from people who have used them and/or
experts in the subject of scanning.

Fair enough.
Not looking to beat this to death but I, personally, still like to see some
indication of some homework having been done.
I'm DEFINITELY not one of the experts here.
