5.0 out of 5 stars Wireless is bliss December 8, 2011

By Axel

I ordered the Doxie Go to make document scanning easier. I have a Canon scanner that is great with photos, but scanning documents and receipts is far to cumbersome. I use Evernote on my iPad so I also ordered the "iPhone/iPad Sync Kit" so I wouldn't need my computer. The sync kit turned out to be a standard Eye-Fi card which means I don't even need the iPad, Eye-Fi can sync directly to Evernote.

The setup is easy, the initial battery charge is of course an unwelcome three hour wait when I want to play with my new gadget, but after that it's almost zero configuration. I had to create a Eye-Fi account and enter my Evernote login and then I just plugged in the card and started scanning.

Scanning a lot faster than my old scanner, especially since the process is fully automated so I don't have to hook up the scanner, start the scanning software, place the document under the lid, check the settings, make a preview, select the scanning area, do the actual scan and the finally save and handle the resulting file. Now I press the power button and feed the document to the scanner. Done.

The scans are jpg files and it's possible to change the quality to suit your needs. I selected the second highest quality and my scans ended up as 650k for an A4 page and 150k for a receipt. No problems for my free Evernote account.

The "cute" design is toned down compared to the older doxies so it doesn't really bother me. It's a bit strange to sell office machines using pink hearts and colorful pictures but I guess beige and grey is not for everyone.

As a wireless Evernote accessory the Doxie Go exceeded my expectations. The fact that I don't even need a computer (or an iPad) in the scanning process is just fantastic.

Fo the next version I would suggest some sort of selector that would allow me to say "this is picture, send it to flickr", "this is a document, send it to Evernote" and so on. Now everything gets sent to Evernote if I don't change the settings and to do that I must open up the computer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not your traditional scanner (that's a good thing) December 14, 2011

By W. Norman

Like:
- No computer needed
- Compatible with iPhone and iPad via camera connector
- Good design
- Very portable
- Corrects alignment when I put in a page slightly crooked.
- Integration with Evernote, Dropbox, and Facebook (why are you sending scans to Facebook?)

Do not like:
- No OCR (though I hear it is coming soon)
- Wish the battery lasted longer

I really like the Doxie Go for what it is. That is, it is not a scanner in the traditional sense where you scan in documents while connected to a computer. There is no checking your document as it comes in and then saving it off somewhere. Doxie Go seems ready to work anytime with out the computer. Just grab a stack of papers and start scanning.

So far I have been able to move a small mountain of paper through it and on to the hard drive of my computer clearing out some clutter, while not worrying that I'm throwing away something of importance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing product. GREAT customer service! July 14, 2012

I spent months considering a scanner for my real estate business. A portable mini scanner seemed like it would come in handy, but I've come to hate buying new gadgets that will ultimately prove worthless and end up in the back of the closet with all the other stuff I thought I would actually use, but never really did. I read hundreds of reviews and narrowed the search down to a couple of the "big name brands" and this Doxie Go DX200.

Never heard of Doxie before, but they seem to have a growing cult of extremely satisfied customers. Features like the automatic WiFi uploading, the unique computer-free scanning capabilities, and the diminutive size and weight of the device coupled with their growing fan base finally made me pull the trigger. Best purchase I've made this year. I scan marketing materials to show on my iPad 2 rather than printing hundreds of copies. I scan contracts. I scan receipts. I scan photos. I scan memos and meeting notes. I scan checks. I scan business cards. And they're all there on Dropbox and Evernote whenever/ wherever I need them. Amazing. Quick. Easy.

I bought my Doxie in May, 2012 and it came with a crappy sleeve (sorry, but it is what it is). In June, they came out with a much better case for just $29. I contacted their customer service and got a reply almost immediately. They have taken care of my minor complaint beyond what I had ever expected from any manufacturer. If only all companies treated their customers this way.

Also, as of July, 2012, they have updated their already fantastic software and have provided previous customers with a free upgrade. They have discontinued the crappy sleeve that left black dust/lint all over the white scanner, a wise move.

As to other reviewers complaint about the charging, it's true. You do have to charge it before using it. (Well, duh.) It will only charge through your computer's USB, which is odd but certainly not a deal breaker. The good news is there's no dedicated power brick to carry around, just a generic USB cable. If you're a mobile pro, you'll appreciate that.

This is not a replacement for your giant hulk of an office scanner. You can't scan books. You can't scan tonnage for hours on end. But for the many times you wish you could just scan something quickly while you're away from home, the office, and your computer it's nice to know that you CAN take it with you.

Five star product. Five star software. Five star customer service. Very highly recommended.
