ScanSoft PaperPort 11 Professional [OLD VERSION]
$199.99
I was an early adopter of Paperport Pro 11 (v 11.0). The bugs were intolerable. In particular, opening a PDF with the PDF viewer caused my computer to freeze irreparably. The only solution was a hard restart of the system, a problem that eventually led to a hard drive crash. At other times, Paperport Pro 11 would simply close without warning.

Bugs are a part of software development. Good QA corrects most before release, but some will always persist. Post-release bug fixes and patches are an integral part of the development process. Here, Nuance fails.

Nuance identifies bugs, fixes them in subsequent new install releases, BUT NEVER (not since Paperport 10) RELEASES PATCHES to the installed base. Please check the support section of their website ([...]select Paperport and XP. As of September 2009, you will see no patches, though they have released version 11.1 and 11.2 to market for XP with bug fixes.

I have Paperport Pro 11.0, which is unusable, and they have not released patches to bring my installed version up to the current 11.2 release. They have fixed the software, but if you bought before the current release, they won't let you have the patches that make it work.

I would love to see Nuance publicly commit to this basic requirement of customer support - release patches once bugs are fixed.

This I cant even begin to describe how bad this is. I teach interpersonal communication skills and thought is would be a good video for when I am out sick or something. Its a very old woman with a ton of make up sitting in front of a video camera. Yeikes! And the information was poor to boot!
