If you're scanning documents, then Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is included, converting the image to text, with output options including PDF, text, and RTF, with support for multi-page documents. The software is designed to work with all film scanners, as well as flatbed scanners, automatic document feeders (ADF), and more, with output options of JPEG, PDF, TIFF, and even raw. Windows XP's minimum requirements are really rather low, so you could even run this software on an old PC if you wanted.

The recommended system requirements for VueScan software (version 9.7.11) is not listed on Hamrick Software's website, but as the software is designed to work with any version of Windows from XP onwards, the software should work with any computer that can run this version of Windows. In fact, when you buy VueScan, you can use the software on up to four different computers for personal use! You can also find other versions of VueScan so that you can use the software on older versions of Windows as well, so, for example, the 32-bit version will work with Windows XP 32-bit machines and up. The latest version of VueScan is 9.7.11, and as we've been using this software over the last month, it's been updated two or three times.
