VirtualReScan VRS - Document Management Software
VirtualReScan is an electronic check-point for scanned images. As quickly as images pass through the scanner, VRS performs a multi-point inspection of each document. VRS instantly checks and adjusts for alignment (skew), brightness, contrast, and image clarity. Any inconsistencies are immediately corrected by VRS so that only the straightest, most readable images are moved into your application.VRS is especially usefull for data conversion from microfiche or microfilm.
Your goal is simple: Electronically capture your crucial documents and data as quickly and accurately as possible. The more effective your scanning operation is at creating high-quality images, the more reliable the information you'll get from your imaging system.
It's like having a quality control team review every document as it is scanned. Download your FREE DEMO of VRS 3.05 today!
 | Perfect Images: Scanning is only half the battle. The most important part about capturing images is your ability to find, retrieve and use them later. The superior quality of VRS-created images means documents are easier to index and easier to read. | |
 | Improved Recognition: Since VRS automatically straightens and cleans each scanned image, the accuracy of your optical character recognition and handwriting recognition software increases dramatically. | |
 | Internet-Ready Images: Noisy backgrounds and shaded areas are suppressed, resulting in ultra-compact image files ideal for display and rapid retrieval on your Web site. | |
 | Rescanning Eliminated: One of the most time-consuming tasks in scanning is actually rescanning - putting documents back through the scanner and adjusting scanner settings until an acceptable image is obtained. VRS performs all enhancements in real-time - no more rescanning. | |
 | Ease of Use: Scanning remains simple and easy with VRS. Operators do not need special knowledge of scanning, resolution or image enhancement. They just press the scan button, and VRS does the rest. |
There are dozens of VRS Ready scanners available today, and the list is growing. VRS is compatible with all applications based on Kofax ImageControls. VRS 3.0 also supports ISIS- and TWAIN-based scan applications.
The purpose of document scanning is to electronically create accurate black-and-white images of original source documents. The originals may also be in black-and-white, but most likely they will feature colors, shaded backgrounds, reversed text or other elements difficult for a bitonal scanner to translate into crisp, clean, black-and-white images.
Without VirtualReScan, even the most skilled scanner operator must go through a series of scans and rescans to obtain an acceptable image from a complex document. Even this process yields less than perfect results. And the more documents you have to scan, the longer and more costly this process is.
An alternative is to capture the document images as color or grayscale files. While this results in cleaner, more readable images, it also results in excessively large files - too large for rapid transport and storage over most conventional networks.
VRS provides the ideal solution. It uses the 256 shades of a grayscale image to analyze and determine the optimum settings for each document. It then converts this image into a small, perfectly readable black-and-white image. Thus VRS gives you the best of two worlds: the highest quality black-and-white images with small file sizes.
The beauty of VRS is that it is so simple to use. Most operations are automated to accelerate the scanning process, reducing the need for highly trained scanner operators.
• Reduced Document Preparation Simply place all your documents - no matter their size, colour or orientation - into the automatic document feeder, hit the scan button, and away you go. VRS will automatically detect any paper jams, bent corners, or other equipment conflicts and alert you of the problem.
• Automatic De-skew VRS begins by automatically straightening each scanned image. This is particularly crucial when automated recognition techniques such as OCR and ICR are to be performed. VRS also allows operators to intercede and manually fine tune the skew angle of documents as necessary
• Improved Image Clarity VRS analyzes the brightness and contrast levels of each document, comparing them to the user-defined acceptable range. Exceptions are automatically corrected or can be displayed to the operator for manual adjustment. In manual mode, the operator uses the on-screen view of the image to readjust clarity settings until the desired result is obtained.
• Eliminated Noise VRS lets the scanner operator further enhance the image by thinning or thickening lines and characters and removing excessive speckling - all with easy-to-use slider controls. With noise reduction, you obtain crisp, clean images every time.
• Accelerated Scanning In high-volume situations where scanning speed is critical, VRS can be set to perform fast scanning at a lower dots-per-inch (dpi) resolution. After analyzing the image, VRS will then convert the final bitonal image into a higher-resolution dpi for better on-screen viewing.
• Real-Time Analysis
VRS will display optimum settings for each scanned image to allow users to create new default settings for common documents. Thus, a form printed on difficult-to-read color paper can be scanned and analyzed so that the optimum settings for that type of document can be created and saved for future use. VRS lets you save multiple document profiles to accelerate the scanning process.
