Incidents can be reported by completing the Problem Report Form at a cost of $9.95 per incident." Phone support is even more at $19.95 per incident. Here is Nuance's statement found on their Web site: " Individual users can interact with Nuance Technical Support through a pay per-incident email process. With the majority of software I've used, email support is usually available and often phone support of some type. The real surprise to me was that Nuance does not offer any free tech support for paid users by phone or email! This is a $200.00 program without a form of technical support that is commonly found with just about any type of software. All this information is fairly basic, potentially useful but strictly user-guided with no interactive help available for free. There are several options for free support offered by Nuance : Knowledge Base, Downloads, User's Guides, Communities, Hardware Compatibility List, and Product Activation.

PaperPort Professional transforms paper documents into searchable digital documents. The Neat Net Tricks Software Review Panel is pleased to report on its extensive evaluation of Scansoft PaperPort 11 Professional.
