LG Electronics LSM-100 Scanner Mouse

I didnt immediately open or install the LG Electronics mouse, but when I did take the time it was relatively easy to install. I really have not had a chance to thoroughly explore the capabilities of the device, however, with what I have tried I am completely satisfied and look forward to learning to do more with my scanner mouse.

Save your money people. The cord alone will bring enough frustration for you to want to throw it against the wall. You cannot lift the scanner like you would a regular mouse. As soon as you lift the mouse your scan is ruined and have to start again. It is possible to scan using this device if you are willing to spend a lot of time and go over your document again and again. I bought this gadget to scan documents quickly and efficiently. Boy, was I wrong. The material at the bottom of the mouse sticks to paper and in my case it was also uneven. Scanning books?-------- forget it.

Its not user friendly, kind of sorry I bought it. It is hard to master the mouse to get the full page and you need to keep replacing your regular mouse with this because you wouldnt want to use this all the time since he bottom is the scanner glass.

As described fully in the product description it is really good to have for people who travel lot and work off office most of the time. While in office you would prefer to use a scanner which is quite cheaper than this. As it works in both mode, scan and can be use as a mice. But I would recommend only use it while scanning, if you want to use as a mice, buy another cheap one and keep both in you laptop bag. I bought it for my friend in India and he loved it, because its not like US that everyone have personal scanner at home. It is off much much use for him while making presentation, the software it has can easily convert the scanned page text which can be edited in MS Word. I would say it is a quality product.

Mouse was not as easy to use or as comfortable as old one. Scanner was not easy to use, especially at the edges of the documents.. Picture scanning was not very good (image). User manual was extremely large, most of it in languages other than english, and one of the WORST, least helpful user manuals I have ever seen. There was nothing in the manual that told how to put a scanned document into word or excell and use the ocr software. Great idea, but a little more efffort in design and a much better manual would have gone a long way.

Software was difficult to update to windows 10. Once updated the product worked great. I used it as a school teacher for a couple months then put it away for the Summer. Now that school has started again I went to plug it in and it didnt work. Same computer, no updates needed. The mouse buttons worked but it would never move the cursor any more. Company doesnt allow returns on this product. My product was purchased 5 months ago.

This is a unique product. It functions as a mouse, but also as a portable scanner when used with a laptop.The image resolution is very good and it is easy to use. When scanning at the edge of an image, particularly the edges of a book or magazine, the scanned image tends to get partially rotated. When that happens, I have been unable to get it straightened again and have found the easiest solution is to end the scan and start over, again. Overall, I am happy with this product. I bought it for my wife to use to scan magazine and newspaper articles and sections of catalogs. Seemed like a better solution than having little pieces of articles torn out and stored in an unrecoverable manner (like stuck in a box). Because of the inconsistency of the edge scans, it is not getting much use.

Below are my original comments. I have tried to use it repeatedly to scan and copy excerpts from paper documents. Although I can adapt to the size and buttons of this mega-mouse, it is the cord that ruins it for me. It makes it too unwieldy and any efficiency I would otherwise gain using it is lost. It is better for me to scan all the documents to PDFs and then copy images or markup with PDF Annotator. The software is truly amazing; it stitches together various strokes across a document into a decent rendition. Just a shame about the cord. Back to the drawing board for LG on this one. First, if you are having problems installing from Win 7 64 bit with enclosed disc try closing Anti-virus and right click on .exe file and select run as Administrator. I can never figure out why certain software doesnt just install. I have also done two software updates since getting it installed (12 hours ago) so you might check the support site to see if these updates are listed and can be downloaded directly. Once I got the software working, it is awesome. I review various documents and this will certain streamline of my procedure. Hopefully, LG will continue to develop and support it. A wireless version would be money.

I bought this thing to take to Taiwan with me, to help me in my traditional Chinese lessons. To my surprise and disappointment, LG does not recognize this language in its OCR data base! (Oh, but it has over 180 other languages in its database!) What a waste of money! Other than that, its just fine.

This amazing device provides the absolute worst of both worlds. Its a slippery-surfaced mouse that feels downright awful in the hand, and a scanner that can barely function. At best, interesting to play with. Once you get past the novelty, youre left with an awful scanner that can take several passes to get a single flat sheet correctly seamed together. And dont even think of scanning out of a bound book, it will slip off of one edge on one side and bump into the binding on the other. Any removal of the mouse from the scanned surface will confuse the scanning software and force you to start over. For half the price, you could get a Cannon flatbed that is the same size as a laptop. If youre really desperate for a scan, scanner software that runs on the iPhone does well with with the build-in camera, too. These far better options have left my LG scanner mouse completely unused. I only wish that I had returned this joke of an accessory in time for a refund.
