As a Nuance screwee, I would NOT buy anything from these folks based on what they say to quote Judge Judy “if your tongue came notarized”.

These are the people who screwed me on “IBM” Via Voice. To which, I blame both IBM (their name was on the box) and Nuance.

Visioneer ain’t on my hit parade either. I got screwed when their Strobe was not being supported or drivers created for various windoze releases. All “silent” of course. I found out after I bought or tried to upgrade. A plague on their houses. Also, I have had lost of “unsupport” from them with their Paperport line in the past.

So here we have the hit parade, this one announcement hit every one on my don’t buy list:

IBM — Misleading me in who would support the product.
Nuance — making me pay for nonsupport
Strobe — nonsupport and selling gear with no drivers
Visioneer — nonsupport of current versions in the past

If you deal with any of these four, be warned. Don’t come whining to me that you got screwed. Learn from my screwing!
