Universal version seen at v9.8.53 · Reported by 2 Macs in the community.
VueScan is a universal scanner driver and image capture application that supports over 6,000 scanners from 42 manufacturers—including older models no longer officially supported by their original makers. It works on macOS, Windows, and Linux, and excels at digitizing photographs, film negatives, and documents with advanced color correction and image processing tools. Professional photographers and archivists use it to breathe new life into legacy scanner hardware that would otherwise be unusable on modern operating systems. VueScan handles formats like PDF, JPEG, TIFF, and includes optical character recognition (OCR) capabilities.
