A year ago, I shared on the Rain one thing I had learned in one of my CRS classes. I ordered it, and I am here to tell you: it is worth every cent!!! I've listed some of the information below, but speaking as a user - it is absolutely awesome.
I use it regularly to scan in receipts and place them in a computer file, scan and email documents to clients, and scan in rental applications for tenants. All I have to do is go to the file, email it to the prospective tenant, and voila, it's on it's way. No ink, no mess, and my copies come out as clear as when I print them from the computer. For those who have the ability to scan back, everything is emailed to everyone for signatures, etc. It is such a necessary asset for my business.
The ScanSnap comes with the full standard version of Adobe Acrobat. That, alone is worth the price you pay for this cool tool.
Okay, it sits on my desk not taking up any more room than a sheet of 8-1/2x11" - not even that big. It scans both sides of the paper at one time and places it into a file on your computer. Then you can rename it and save it in a file in the folder.
I've added the information from the website for ScanSnap for further enlightenment.
"The ScanSnap S500 is a true one-touch solution, which enables you to scan directly to PDF, email or file with the touch of a button. This compact scanner encompasses exceptional functionality and is the perfect alternative to faxing.
Quickly and easily digitize various document types!
Scan 18 double-sided pages per minute:
In one step, the ScanSnap S500 digitizes both sides of a document in a single pass, in color, and at an amazing speed of up to 18 pages per minute
Advanced features for the ultimate ease of use! With a touch of the button the ScanSnap enhances the user experience with a host of automatic features, including:
- Auto paper size detection: Scan mixed batches of documents containing paper ranging in size from business cards to legal sized documents
- Auto de-skew: Automatically straightens and aligns text and images into their correct orientation
- Auto blank page deletion: Save storage space and eliminate the need to edit scanned documents with the ScanSnap's ability to recognize and delete blank pages
Instantly create searchable PDF files:
The included "ScanSnap Organizer" automatically converts scanned data into searchable PDF files, while the ScanSnap S500's image enhancement technology increases character recognition for more precise OCR accuracy.
Scan directly to Microsoft Office Applications:
The bundled ABBYY FineReader enables the user to scan documents directly to applications such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint.

Simple installation and operation in a compact design!
The ScanSnap easily installs via its USB 2.0 interface and its small footprint requires less space than a letter size piece of paper.

The ScanSnap S500 is covered by a one-year Limited Warranty. An upgrade to the Advance Exchange program (sold separately) is also available .
If you need more information, I can share photos of mine, but I think the website should help you see what it does. Meanwhile, check it out. You'll be glad you did!!
