I don't scan things so this is not a recommendation.

And I think it only runs on Windows so this may not be the thing for you.

Practically any photo or graphics program will enable you to scan directly into it using a scan dialogue.

I generally use IrfanView, which is pretty straightforward. All you need is to have a scanner driver and make sure it is selected.

That I will check out. Thank you!

And there's the hack of using an old computer. I use the 2010 Mac laptop, and scan to a memory stick.

The unused AIO printer will scan to one in its accessory panel. And it has simple auto feed. People are giving them away due to ink costs. Most scan.

The RadioShark won't work with anything newer than the Mac laptop.

HTH. 🐧
