Scanshow

With the help of Scanshow you can customize a wide range of options for scanning files. For example, it's possible to create tables of contents or display images with their original size.
This is a fast and approachable software program that can be handled by all types of users, whether or not they have previous experience with this type of tools.

Simple setup and interface

The setup procedure takes little time to finish and shouldn't bring up any issues. As for the interface, Scanshow chooses a classical-looking window that contains an Explorer-based folder structure for quickly navigating local directories to locate files, in addition to multiple buttons.

Customize scanner settings

After selecting a folder, you can explore all containing image files and preview them within the main window, sort the items by name or time, arrange them in any order in the list, rename files, as well as edit image display properties when it comes to the chapter title, descriptive text (e.g. transparent, centered, small font), as well as sound file attachment (.wav format).

Save settings and view scanned files

It's also possible to modify the presentation title, image display type (full image, full width, original size), include copyright information with your name and year, set the frequency for auto-page, as well as save the settings to a new INI file.
Once you specify the source and output destination for the images, Scanshow automatically puts together the image presentation and brings it up in a large panel.

Evaluation and conclusion

We haven't come across any stability issues in our tests, thanks to the fact that the tool didn't hang, crash or prompt error dialogs. It had a good response time and minimal impact on computer performance, running on low CPU and RAM.
On the other hand, Scanshow hasn't been updated for a long time and its interface needs some improvements in the visual department. Nevertheless, you can test it for yourself.
