Reviewed on www.bhphotovideo.com·Court
I had received this document and photo scanner for a gift and was very well pleased with the performance of this little scanner. I have limited space, so having a bulky scanner was just not an option for me. The size is quite easy to store in small places. The hardware was fairly easy to access online and set up. I have uploaded several family photos and will eventually upload to the cloud so my whole family can share all our old family photos. If your into ancestry, this will be a useful tool as well to upload those documents and old photos to your accounts to share your historical documents with relations from around the world. I have lots of plans for this great scanner. Archiving my artwork, scanning family cookbook recipes....the ideas and projects are endless. I can't wait! I still have to learn to tweak a few things to my liking and wish that after I scanned photos they would display the icon of the image itself so I can more easily separate the documents, but it may be something I can figure out how to remedy with a little research online. Overall, great product!

The scanner is quite good, but the software is very inconvenient. \n1) Each workflow takes a square inch of the screen. I have more than 20 so it is hard to find the one I want. The list SHOULD be customizable like Windows Explorer - small icons, big icons, list with details, sortable by date, name, or number of images in the folder.\n2) The workflows aren't displayed in any order.\n3) I accidentally set several of them to trigger when I click the icon. I'd like to turn that on and off.\n4) 19 of my workflows put pictures into subfolders of the same master folder. I put them in the wrong place and have to move the master folder. It seems that I have to delete them all and create them all from scratch again. BAD BAD BAD!\n5) I don't know how to delete workflows. Will I end up with 40, 20 obsolete ones and 20 updated ones?\n6) If I get a jam and clear it before telling the workflow to start again, the software hasn't noticed that the jam has been cleared. I have to hit OK and trigger the workflow again.\n7) When creating workflows, browsing for the right folder should start near the most recent folder I used instead of forcing me to select a drive and then drill down to where I have created a new subfolder.\n8) When creating workflows, the default document format should be whatever I last chose.\n9) When creating folders, the default workflow name should be the name of the chosen folder.

I was very pleasantly surprised with just how portable yet very efficient the DS-640 scanner is. Being executor for an out of state estate I had over 40 documents to scan for legal matters and needed an inexpensive scanner quickly to get the job done. Installation was very easy with clear and easily understood instructions. (There are also several good YouTube instructions and reviews) I found the scanner to easily scan various sizes smoothly and accurately with very, very good resolution. I scanned everything from a laminated driver license to full 11 X 17 documents flawlessly. The settings within the software are easily understood with easy to find abilities to change settings to each particular need. I only review products that are either very good or very bad. This scanner wins an excellent review. Well worth the inexpensive cost to get such a thorough scanner inexpensively. Highly recommend.

I bought this for a massive scanning project. Set up was super easy. And I was able to crank out thousands of scans quickly. The Brother app makes it super easy to name the scans and sort into folders. \n\nI also realized its great for scanning my kids art as well as receipts & documents to file. It's so small I can easily store it nearby and pop it into the computer when I want to scan a receipt or document too.\n\nMy only complaint is I wish it was just like 1/2 wider so it could scan construction paper too. But other than that, it is above and beyond what I expected.

We needed a scanner to transfer paper receipts and documents into digital format to preserve long-term, mostly for warranty and health records. The thermal receipts fade over time, so preserving them in digital format made a lot of sense. I must say, I am extremely impressed with this Brother DSmobile DS-640scanner and the Kofax Paper Port software. Of course, if you are doing a lot of scanning, you would want to upgrade to a scanner that scans both sides simutaniously and faster, but if you are just needing to preserve records, this is a great model to have.

I am 68 years old and still getting comfortable with using devises. The thought of having to figure out how to set up a scanner and remembering how to use it was overwhelming. Your product is so user friendly, this scanner has become my new friend. It may sound lame, but I feel so smart and confident when I go through the steps to scan something. DONE! I'm sure there are many other people out there who feel the same as I do. My advise is just read the instructions they are really easy! Thank-You!

This worked right out of the box and does exactly what I need it to do. I love the size and weight and the case I purchased for it fits nicely into my bag. I wish it would scan the docs to the same pdf rather than requiring me to combine them once they are all scanned but it's not a big deal considering how easy everything else has been with this.

It was a good bargain to replace my multi-function printers scan feature. I couldn't get it to function on my Windows 10 PC until chatting with a Brother representative. The same software I installed for my Brother laser printer works with this as well. Just what I needed as a scanner replacement.

My Office is the Kitchen. My Desk is the Dinner Table. This Scanner is the perfect size. All I need to do is to temporarily move some of the Clutter, giving me enough space to start the paper going through then end afterwards. And it's actually very easy to use. "Obviously" you can't scan anything with multiple pages. But that's no big deal for me.

For the price, this is a good and reliable scanner. You do need to regularly clean the scanner glass area before, during, and after each use or your scanned image will have a vertical stripe or stripes running through it.
