All your documents in one place
ScanSnap Home
Refined and advanced software for total document management
ScanSnap iX1500’s all-new ScanSnap Home combines all your favorite functions into one interface. Easily manage, edit, and utilize
scanned data from documents, receipts, business cards, photos and more all in one application. Documents are automatically
recognized and grouped according to document type (receipts, photographs, business cards etc.).
Name files faster
ScanSnap Home uses the text, such as shop and company
names, found on your scanned documents to recommend
file names. Not only does accuracy of information
extraction increase the more you scan, but edits made to
file names are learned for later naming suggestions.
Documents
Quickly find that recipe or
meeting agenda that you stored
last week with easy access tags.
Business Cards
ScanSnap Home’s intelligent auto correction makes
managing business card contacts a simple and seamless
process with less manual work for you. Contact whoever
you need right away with the software organizing captured
data according to company name and much more.
Receipts
Keep track of your spending habits
each month so that you can check back
whenever you desire.
Find files easily
ScanSnap Home offers simple yet powerful functions to
organize and search all of your document types using
folders, tags, and keywords. Now you can find
information easier than ever before.
