View allNAPS2 was added to AlternativeTo by Emiel on Feb 22, 2015 and this page was last updated Oct 23, 2021. NAPS2 is sometimes referred to as Not Another PDF Scanner, Not Another PDF Scanner 2.
I've tried numerous others and was not satisfied with any. NAPS2 does what I want. Simple and straight-forward. I'll keep it.
NAPS2 succeeded where Windows Scan failed - it kept crashing when trying to scan more than a couple pages. NAPS2 is a great tool overall and is highly recommended above the alternative, mainstream tools.
The Linux version of NAPS2 isn't a Linux compilation.
The Linux version is the portable version of NAPS2 for Windows. So, you need Wine to run it.
The main advantage of this program is that is has profiles. You can define both scanner and scanning properties. Just click, and the scanner does it's job. Best solution if you have several scanners on the network.
Also a big plus, that i don't have to use the cursed HP program that came with the scanner.
Simple.
Easy to use. OCR works well. And it's free.
