The review did not report any advantages to VueScan's processing of documents over other software. A 2014 review considered that the reasons to purchase VueScan are to allow older scanners not supported by drivers for newer operating systems to be used in more up-to-date systems and for better scanning and processing of photographs (prints also slides and negatives when supported by scanners) than is afforded by manufacturers' software. These scanners are supplied with device drivers and software to operate them, included in their price. VueScan is intended to work with a large number of image scanners, excluding specialised professional scanners such as drum scanners, on many computer operating systems (OS), even if drivers for the scanner are not available for the OS. The software can be downloaded and used free of charge, but adds a watermark on scans until a license is purchased. It supports optical character recognition (OCR) of text documents. VueScan is a computer program for image scanning, especially of photographs, including negatives.
