What good is Paperport?

I have often read that Paperport is one-of-a-kind software, or nearly so. But it doesn’t sound so unique compared with the some of the software discussed here. Over at Amazon, it says it helps you “to scan, organize, find and share photos, paper and electronic documents.” But it costs about $165, discounted, and gets very mixed user reviews. It looks to me like it does nothing more than allow you to sort PDF’s and scanned image files into folders. But that can’t be what sets it apart. What does? Has anyone tried it? Does it do things that none of the software here—like Ultra Recall—does?

Thanks,
Gary
