“VueScan 0.1 was first released in 1998 with support for a single scanner on Windows only. Within 5 years VueScan supported more than 400 scanners and after 10 years of development, VueScan now supports more than 1,200 scanners on 3 operating systems and in 40 languages, has been downloaded more than 5 million times and has been purchased by more than 170,000 people worldwide,” Ed Hamrick, the creator of VueScan, said.

“For the past ten years we've continued to add support for more scanners and we've made thousands of improvements and added hundreds of features that customers have asked for. Since we first released VueScan 8.4 two years ago, we've made more than 600 improvements and it's really changed a lot in this time,” Ed concluded.
