Testimonials

We purchased the Vintasoft ActiveX Control a little over a year ago and it has performed flawlessly. I wanted to say thank you. We originally bought the control to integrate it with an MS Access database to track checkouts. We used the control to scan driver's license images and photos. Things are working great.

I have been at a trade show demonstrating my new application containing your control. It has been a great success so far! My sincere thanks to you for your quick resolution of issues.

Great stuff, you made my life a lot easier, was looking through the WIA documentation on Microsoft, but was kind of scared away of all the tricky stuff. But I don't have to look further as your products both seems to be well written and most important for me, not very expensive.

Bert Kaneko
I just wanted to inform you that the Scanner Control is one of the best that we could get online. It works very fine, and merges well with our development environment.
