Techie Review: Nuance PaperPort 12 Professional

PaperPort 12 box

This is a ‘techie’ review of PaperPort 12 Professional. Meaning it’s a review coming from someone that’s used PaperPort for years and is familiar with company and private use of the application. This is not a regurgitation of corporate brochures and handouts telling you about a product.

I’ve been using PaperPort since version 6; it came with a scanner [Visioneer] along time ago. I’ve never been able to find something quite as unique as PaperPort in the aspect of how it handles documents, images and other snippets of information AND in the range of affordability as PaperPort.

It’s the tedious task of having to keep track of program updates. Most new user don’t even realize what’s going on. But the truth is if you’er not running the latest version of a software package, you almost surely asking for a problem.

Windows Live Writer 2009 is Bad for Blog Site Bandwidth

Copy of image_thumb34If your using Windows Live Writer, and you copy and paste images [for like taking screenshots], you may be unaware that Windows Live Writer is doing you a disservice by not using an optimized image. Or by not offering a choice when posting images.
