Scanning Software
Document Scanning Software works with a scanner to facilitate the conversion of paper documents to document images. Usually, document scanners come bundled with basic scanner software, with a number of basic features, including: scanning profiles, image processing, simple output and integration with basic document management or enterprise content management systems. Scanning software differs from document capture software, in that capture software focuses on automation and advanced extraction techniques. Some scanning software will include an OCR engine to facilitate the conversion of scanned images to searchable file formats. It is a critical component to any paperless office initiative and is easy to use for just about any office worker, and is usually more cost effective than capture for large deployments and user bases.
