These scanners are supplied with device drivers and software to operate them, included in their price.

A 2014 review considered that the reasons to purchase VueScan are to allow older scanners not supported by drivers for newer operating systems to be used in more up-to-date systems, and for better scanning and processing of (prints; also slides and negatives when supported by scanners) than is afforded by manufacturers' software. The review did not report any advantages to Vuescan's compared to other software. When compared to, a similar program, the reviewer considered the two programs to be comparable, with support for some specific scanners better in one or the other. Vuescan supports more scanners, with a single purchase giving access to the full range of both film and flatbed scanners, and carries a lower price. The Vuescan program can be used with its own drivers, or with drivers supplied by the scanner manufacturer, if supported by the operating system. Vuescan drivers can also be used without the Vuescan program by applications software that supports scanning directly, such as, again enabling the use of scanners without current manufacturers' drivers. Overview [ ] VueScan enables the user to tweak and fine-tune the scanning parameters.

The program uses its own independent method to interface with scanner hardware, and can support many older scanners under computer operating systems for which are not available, allowing old scanners to be used with newer platforms which do not otherwise support them.
