Go paperless with the help of ExactScan. Scan, file, sort, archive, and find your documents in a snap. Save time and money by transfering your paper into the digital world. ExactScan supports a variety of professional scanners, and image processing to create clean and small files.

Built-In Scanner Drivers

ExactScan is a modern scanning solution, including more than 500 different drivers for document scanners from Avision, Canon, Fujitsu, HP, Kodak, Oki, Panasonic, Visioneer and Xerox, which otherwise don't come with a manufacturer's Mac driver and thus wouldn't work at all. Additionally it also allows the use of different scanners with TWAIN and ImageCapture drivers.

Paper Size Detection (Auto-Crop)

This automatic paper size detection for the built-in drivers recognizes any page size and allows the user to create multi-page documents with different sizes. Furthermore, it can create multi-page documents from flatbed, too.

Skew Correction (De-Skew)

ExactScan has sophisticated image algorithms which allows the built-in drivers to recognize automatically, how the images and documents have to be cropped and de-skewed.

Automatic Black & White Optimization

The intelligent thresholding helps to optimize the black & white documents and together with the blank page detection can save a lot of storage space. All in all ExactScan really lives up to professional requirements.

Blank Page Detection

ExactScan recognizes empty pages to save storage space and edit time.

• It can also delete the blank pages of your document to save storage space.

• To obtain the sequence of your document ExactScan can insert empty PDF pages as place holders.

Auto rotation

The auto-rotation feature allows ExactScan Pro to determine the orientation of each scanned sheet automatically, therefore avoiding the need to manually pre-sort a stack before the scan. Because the auto-rotation works independantly of the OCR, the feature also helps to improve OCR results.

All automatic

Everything in the Pro version is automatic. Color and source detection avoids the need to manually switch between ADF, Flatbed, color, or black & white scans, as the optimal storage format for each page is automatically chosen.

Append to PDF files

Forgot a page, or continue scanning later, or another day? The Pro version can open PDF files and directly add more pages without the need of an external PDF editor.

Content de-skew

The content de-skew allows to correct page skew based on the page's content. Further improving visual appearance, storage size as well as OCR results.

Barcode Recognition (1D)

The 1D barcode recognition engine (UPC, EAN, code25, code39, code128, ...) allows to name or split batches by common barcodes. It also allows to embed the barcode content into the PDF document - through this the barcode parameters can be found e.g. with Spotlight. It even recognizes difficult images with colored background, overlapping and distortion.

Imprinter

The Imprinter allows ExactScan Pro to print flexible text into the scan. For example the scanned date, or watermarks such as "APPROVED", "VOID", "PRELIMINARY", "CONFIDENTIAL" or anything else.

Batch Processing

Process existing files, whether PDF or bitmaps, as if they came from a scanner.
