Sharpdesk lets you manage a variety of electronic information such as scanned image data from a
Digital Laser Copier/Printer or documents created using word processing or spreadsheet
application software. Some of the important features of Sharpdesk are:
●
Sharpdesk works with your scanner to let you read paper documents into your computer using a
full-featured set of scanning controls and options.
●
Sharpdesk makes editing of your images and documents quick and easy.
●
A text image scanned into Sharpdesk can be converted into editable text for use with your favorite
word processor. Sharpdesk uses an advanced Optical Character Recognition (OCR) engine that
even preserves your document layouts.
●
Distributing documents by e-mail or printing a hard copy is as easy as dragging a file onto an icon
on the Sharpdesk OutputZone.
●
Multiple files can be combined together into a single new file. After creating a combination file,
the page order can be changed or new pages added.
●
You can search for an image or text file using a single word, phrase, or list of words. You can also
perform a detailed search by specifying the file type, modified data, or a keyword.
●
A color image scanned on the machine can be saved as a PDF file using a high compression ratio
to reduce the file size. (To view a PDF file saved using a high compression ratio, the latest version
of Adobe Reader is required.)
