WorkForce ES-50 Portable Sheet-Fed Document Scanner for PC and Mac

So far so good. Scanned documents are decent quality but not great. Probably not the best scanner for graphics due to image quality. Simple to use. Downloaded the driver, which was straightforward. Bought the case to store it in. Meets my needs and doesn’t take up lots of space. Happy w/ this purchase!

I love this scanner! I don’t really get the negative reviews. For the price and the functionality you get, it’s amazing. I’m the type of person who does tons of research before I buy most anything. This includes scanners like this. I was fairly hesitant due to some negative reviews, but I decided to take a chance because I really loved how small, compact and minimalistic this was. I am so happy with my purchase. I have a Mac and setup was a breeze. The minimalist design and the tiny footprint is exactly what I was looking for You don’t have to pay for any additional software for it to function (but I do think you have to download their app, which is free… I don’t know if this is an absolute requirement to use the scanner, but I installed their app because it comes with great feature that make it extremely easy to manage scans and save them. I actually love the features that it provides at no cost so I would recommend downloading it… again, it’s FREE) It just does what it’s supposed to do. One thing to notice is that due to its minimal size if you’re a bit of a perfectionist OCD person like myself you have to be a little more careful about how you load each page to ensure the scans are fed evenly. I assume this is an issue with any scanner but even moreso with something that’s as compact as this and doesn’t have the guides to ensure precise feeding. If you’re looking for a compact scanner, that is efficient, effective and easy to use, I would absolutely recommend this.

Great compact mobile scanner - it’s meant for letter sized paper, it only has so many rollers to pull, so if you don’t line them up for receipts, etc. it won’t work, but you can do numerous receipts if lined properly (easier sideways IMO). It only feeds one sheet at a time, but it’s quick, and the software was extremely easy to install/use. For being as tiny and quiet as it is, I say it’s a perfect companion if you’re on the move, or limited space. USB connection makes it compatible with about anything, and no batteries or cords to worry about. Highly recommended needless to say

The EPSON ES-50 is a basic single sheet scanner without a lot of frills. If you are looking for basic no hassle scanning from a single computer or device is just fine. For wireless shared scanning over a network, you must purchase the similar ES-60W. You must download the driver and software from EPSON onto your computer, but other than plugging it in a USB port nothing else is required. Very easy to use with one button scanning. It takes a gentle touch to get the paper lined up square since there are no paper guides, but for that you get a lightweight scanner with a small footprint. Since I plan to travel with it in my backpack, and it does not come with a case, I purchased a fitted case separately to protect it. I took a chance and purchased mine as "like new in original packaging" from Amazon resale to save 30 bucks. It came in generic packaging, but is like new and works just fine. Recommended.

This is a great little scanner. I had an older version of this model for years, recently had to replace it. This version, the newer updated scanner of the same model, is a great improvement. Mechanically much faster and easy to use. The software that comes with it makes scanning many times easier than before. I was happy with the older model, but this one gives crisp clear scans. And it takes a fifth the amount of time to do it. Or less.

I read the other reviews and decided to give it a shot myself, and I'm very thankful I did, it is very convenient to use and to carry around in laptop bag, it scans pretty fast and works well with scanning sports cards into computer for grading. Have had zero issues with the app or the scanner, it is worth every penny spent, I highly recommend this scanner to anyone who wants a fast great scanner. works with my MacBook and my Dell.

Like others, I found a mountain of photos after my mother died. Many old family pictures that I couldn't just discard but took up a lot of room. I bought this to scan and save those photos to a smaller package. Works well for the purpose. For color photos this unit is great. It's fast, easy to use, portable. Software has very basic controls for adjusting image quality. One big caveat, it does NOT work on old, glossy, black and white photos. Hard to explain the effect but the image itself is only black and white with no grayscale so everything is washed out. Having to use an old, slow, flatbed scanner for these. Overall I'm happy with my purchase. Pretty good value for what it offers.

Ich habe den direkten Weg zum PC und alles schnell abgelegt

I wouldn't think of using this for quality photos, but if you're just interested in digitizing documents like receipts, contracts, insurance papers, etc, the quality and convenience are well worth buying it. The fact it has no separate power supply required is a big plus - perfect for mobile laptop users. Also nice you can feed-in a variety of paper lengths, unlike many flatbed scanners that only accomodation standard 8.5"x11" letter-size. It also works well with VueScan scanning software, which has nice added features like auto-skew correction, text recognition and a bunch of other good stuff. Biggest drawback is the alignment of the paper being fed-in. It gets better with practice, but you'll still find yourself trying a second attempt to get the scan output better aligned. Also, you wouldn't want to use this one-at-a-time for any large batch scanning - but a few pages at a time are fine. Highly recommend buying a matching zippered hard case to conveniently store the scanner and USB cable. Dust is the enemy of all scanners - especially relevant here if you're transporting it regularly.

Parece um brinquedinho, mas é uma ferramenta poderosa. Uma dica, a PRIMEIRA vez que usarem, façam a calibragem com o papel enviado "CALIBRATION SHEET" depois é só alegria, Excelente digitalização, excelente custo beneficio. Super Indico.

I loved this product when it arrived, but only used it a few times and it just stopped working, despite trying new connections, multiple computers. Instructions say to attach USB directly to computer - my MAC OS laptop doesn't have a USB port. Big disappointment. Makes me hesitant to order a replacement.

I highly recommend 👌
