Serotek Corporation, the leading provider of accessible multi platform and
cloud-based solutions which can be accessed from anywhere, is proud to
announce the release of DocuScan Plus. This innovative software allows
persons to scan and read documents from any computer with an attached
Twain-compliant scanner, sound card and internet connection.
Serotek's DocuScan Plus offers high-quality optical character recognition,
(OCR), to convert the printed page in to text. This self-voicing
application can read both printed pages from a Twain-compliant scanner, as
well as many types of PDF files, including those containing text and those
containing only images. The software also supports scanners with duplex and
ADF (automatic document feeder) capabilities. DocuScan Plus can convert
scanned documents in to MP3 audio files for playback on many portable
devices, and the software can even convert scanned materials in to the
popular DAISY format. For Low Vision users, DocuScan Plus also offers a
full Screen Magnifier for the reading of scanned text. This magnification
option, when combined with the self voicing features of DocuScan Plus,
allows documents to be comfortably read from the screen as well as via
text-to-speech. Materials can also be saved in Large Print. In this way,
documents can be scanned, printed, and shared with friends or viewed offline
under a Video magnifier.
"We wanted to create an affordable application that really took in to
account the way we access the printed word in the 21st century.", said Mike
Calvo, CEO. "We don't spend all our time on one computer, or even one device
anymore, so why should we be using software based on that model? When we
make a product like this, with a feature set that's useful to people with a
wide variety of disabilities,and it's just as easy to use from the classroom
computer as it is from home, we believe it has the potential to open a lot
of doors that have remained closed until now."
The DocuScan Plus software can be used as an installed program from your
personal computer, or it can be accessed from any computer simply by
visiting http://www.DocuScanPlus.com. The program may be purchased for only
$299, or less than one third of the cost of < /span>
other scanning solutions.
Other features included are:
Braille Conversion: DocuScan Plus contains Braille translation options,
allowing you to convert your scanned pages and PDF files into a variety of
different braille formats based on the specific translation table you
choose.
Save To Kindle: Wirelessly Transfer scanned documents to the Amazon Kindle
for reading on the go using the Kindle's built in text to speech function.
Export Scanned Text: Save documents and materials to a computer or portable
DAISY player for offline reading.
Encrypted Online Storage: Save documents securely to the cloud and retrieve
them from anywhere.
Additional Synthesizer Support: Choose from a variety of synthesizers for
use with this self-voicing application.
Additional Support For Mobile Platforms: DocuScan Plus will support some
external camera and mobile phone platforms. This functionality will come
free with DocuScan Plus and it is currently scheduled for release in the
first quarter of 2011.
DocuScan Plus may be used independently of any other Serotek software. The
application can allow persons to read the printed page with any
Windows-based computer, regardless of whether any access technology has been
installed or is currently running.
