Doxie Go SE - Portable A4 Document Scanner With Rechargeable Battery And Brilliant Software

I bought this scanner to scan documents to the cloud and my mac and it hasn't disappointed. I don't have an office but its compact enough to keep in a drawer until needed. It rapidly boots, scans quickly and gives good quality images. You can use it as a standalone item, saving scans to the SD card, or connect directly to your computer. The Doxie software is simple but effective and intuitive. From here you can save to your computer or upload directly to your cloud account. You can scan at lower and higher definition. I've been using it a month now on the high definition scan setting, to scan well over 100 pages, and haven't had to recharge it yet. Overall I'm very pleased with my purchase. I looked at a number of scanners but I'm glad I chose the Doxie.

I use this scanner when I visit clients and need to take copies of documents. It is quicker than taking a photo if you take into account that you don't need to flatten the page, get the lighting right then line up your shot. and the end result is far better. Transfer of scans to the computer using the intuitive software from Doxie is easy and even the lower resolution scan makes a readable pdf with no problems on my Windows 11 laptop. I have only found 1 small problem: when carrying the scanner in a bag, the SD card can pop out slightly and needs to be re-inserted - no big deal you may think, and you'd be right. However, Doxie kindly supplied me with their purpose made carry case after I had paid for the scanner. It turned out that it is really worth having. I may well buy another scanner for a colleague and would definitely buy the case to go with it. The case has semi-hard sides and provides a good deal of protection. It keeps the scanner and lead together and so far, has solved the problem of the SD card popping out. In essence, this scanner is saving me a lot of time and produces better results than previous methods. It is light-weight and very portable. It is best suited to documents rather than photos though the colour balance is not awful by any means. You can't use it to scan pages of books. If you want to go paperless with documents this is a great tool to help.

What an excellent scanner I needed to collate all my paper work & my wifes businesses paper work to store in the Cloud. Its quick & simple to use great customer service available software a breeze to use, I like the stitch pdf for invoices. I am still doing a lot of work but will be able to reduce the paper work. I would recommend the Doxie scanners plus took out extra 3 year warranty as this little scanner will be doing a lot of work.

I intend to use my Doxie for scanning all business and personal documents, but since I received it I have been catching up on hundreds of old photos that I want to store on my PC. I had searched for a suitable scanning device and luckily I found this perfect answer for what I was planning to do. The Doxie is so easy to use and is very fast; I can get through boxes of prints all while watching TV. The software for organising the scanned images is well thought out and invaluable for dealing with so many pictures.

The good - fast, simple scanning without wires trailing everywhere, no need even to turn on the PC/laptop. Good scan quality for documents (I'd use a flatbed for photos). No button pressing - just present the document and let go once it's started - very fast process. The not so good - simplex not duplex is a real pain, as is not having a document feeder. And why is it soooo slow at importing images from the Doxie's SD card? I scanned about 500 documents this evening and it's taking 5+ seconds to import each one = about 40 minutes! It's like going back to 1990. From my cameras SD card that much data would have taken... 30 seconds? It's no deal breaker, I can just leave it running (while I write this review!). So far, very impressed. Got totally fed up of my (2nd) Scansnap - confusing, unreliable software, having to have wires trailing everywhere, laptop on, press buttons after every single scan... it just drove me crazy and willnow only be used for large (over 10 pages) documents. Well, I have no more to say just yet and the import is still only a third of the way through, very odd. If it takes this long to transfer a few jpgs, how long is it going to take to convert them all to PDF and OCR them?! UPDATE: Day 2.... Preview of scanned images - it would be really handy to be able to see what I'd just scanned to make sure it scanned correctly. I've now done over 800 scans and there have been a few duff images, but only two where a document was messed up. That's a great success rate but even the low failure rate is enough to mean I have to check every single one before converting to pdf. I would definitely have paid the extra £25 for the Wifi one if (?) that gives you a wireless preview after very scan. Software - it's pretty simple/intuitive and a billion light years ahead of the Scansnap's overly-complex nightmare of confusion and often simply refusing to connect. Would I buy another? Yes, 100%.

Useful bit of kit. Can be used on the move. Easy to carry as you do not need to take your PC/Mac with you and can download later. Scans quickly. easy to set up. Customer service team very helpful

Fits in my (large) handbag or laptop bag! Great when moving from place to place for work. Great images and very user friendly software. I've had my Doxie for a few years now and have done over 23,000 scans on it and it's as good as the day I bought it. When I bought it first, I had some problems with it and got in touch with customer services and the help I received was just excellent. I have bought others since and for my staff and everyone is delighted with the product. An excellent mobile scanner.

Bought this for work and I am super happy with the product. We are moving to digital documents and to be honest I don't know if I can do without. I scan hundreds of documents per day and the Doxie is very easy to use and pretty quick to scan the images. I like to OCR option when exporting documents, it makes it easier to work with files (pdf mainly). I hope it will be able to handle heavy scanning but after 3000 images already scanned, I am pretty confident it will last for a loooong while. Thanks Doxie
