I love Vuescan. The UI could use a bit of polishing, but the software works perfectly.

Just don't use the build in OCR function. For some reason it always made many errors compared to OCRmyPDF (Tesseract OCR) [1].

Sadly the Vuescan AUR package (unofficial) [2] breaks several times a week because of sha256sum check miss-match since the Vuescan developer pushes many silent updates.

Also the developer behind Vuescan is against other downloading options [3].
