I am not sure why Revo Point doesn’t offer a Linux version of Revo Scan as they offer the software for Windoze, Mac, and Android - which to my understanding is pretty heavily based upon Linux.
I’ve also noted on the Revo Point website only recently that Revo Scan 6 has been released - but for Windoze only.
In regard to Revo Scan on Linux, I’ve used WINE to run the software, which seems to run, but I’ve not been able to connect to my scanner (Miraco) using USB. I’ve only started on this in the last two days, and then only during breaks, so I’m not up-to-speed on either the Revo Scan software or with the Miraco.
I have noted that I can connect the Miraco, through the USB cable, into ‘file server mode’ (can’t recall the exact name), and copy stuff from the Miraco to the PC (with a Linux file manager). I can then use the Revo Scan software (through WINE) to access the data on the PC. I suppose that is a plus with having a stand-alone scanner.
With regard to connecting to the scanner via USB, I wonder if it is a USB driver issue, and Linux just doesn’t have the right driver? Many other programs work fine accessing USB with WINE. But I’ve only ever been using generic USB devices - I’ve done zero with flat-bed scanners and other things that likely have specific drivers.
I also read (in a Pop 3 post) that connection to a scanner using WINE over WiFi was do-able, but it required putting the Pop 3 into ‘host’ mode. I saw no such option in the Miraco menus.
All said - upvote for Revo Scan on Linux.
