Other than Image Capture, as mentioned by Ross, VueScan (http:// 
www.hamrick.com/) comes closest to what you're looking for.  
Unfortunately Visioneer scanners are explicitly not supported because  
they will not make their device interface public, but it can't hurt  
to download it and try it.

Today's less than $100 scanner is better than yesterday's several  
hundred dollar scanner. Getting a new Mac or VueScan supported  
scanner is the way to go.

By the way, many people by VueScan and trash the software that comes  
with their scanner as the bundled software if often quite feature  
limited and/or poorly written.

If you do buy a new (and presumably not a Visioneer) scanner, be sure  
to let Visioneer know why they didn't get a repeat customer.
