ExactScan Pro, a Paid-for Image Scanning Software
By installing ExactScan Pro, a highly-useful tool to add to your utilities, you're good to go with pretty much any scanner. There's no tedious time spent locating and installing additional drivers, nor navigating through fiddly setup processes. Scanner recognition is automatic and rapid, so you can get to scanning your paper into a digital format immediately.
Scan Directly to OCR
Exactscan Pro is a highly-capable OCR scanner with a high degree of accuracy. An array of settings can be adjusted to determine how the scanner software treats your optical image, such as selecting a PDF or RTF destination file format. The software is also able to spot when blank pages appear and leave them out of the final image. Additionally, AppleScript can be utilised to create small scripts that will change all the application's settings and determine how files are handled. Free alternatives such as Wondershare are available, though not all are as advanced as this paid-for option.
In Summary
ExactScan Pro is ideal for those fed up with slow, complex or limited software associated with their retail-bought scanner. However, it's less ideal for people with one of a few scanners that aren't supported, or people using the Lite version of the software, which is less capable. Otherwise, it's an extremely adept program that will make digitizing files far easier and quicker.
