Providing
the solutions
The EDS
software allows you to make sure that paper based information is
always available to everyone who needs it. It achieves this by
linking or embedding scanned paper images, intercepted faxes, or
pointers, within your existing applications using either OLE, DDE or
relational techniques.
As a
result your paper based information can be incorporated quickly,
easily and without any programming within e-mails, databases,
accounting systems, or any other applications, for example Lotus
Notes. When another user wants to read the document,
they simply double click on the thumbnail or
pointer and it is retrieved from central storage and displayed
within an EDS window.
 Clarify
and explain with annotations
You
can even annotate images to highlight particular areas or add
clarifying notes using simple text, arrow, highlighting and drawing
tools. Large amount of text, for example an explanation of the
document or a request for action, can also be added using electronic
sticky notes. Finally, you can even embed related information on to
the image as OLE objects, for example
vocal comments recorded using Remark or
a chart from Excel.
Edit
and integrate text with OCR
Sometimes
you need to edit the contents of a paper document or fully integrate
the information it contains within an electronic record. EDS includes
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software that can
"read" your scans or faxes and translate them into text
tiles. If the document contains a diagram or picture, this is can be
translated into a bitmap tile. These text and bitmap tiles can then
be stored as word processor files or cut and pasted into databases,
e-mails, spreadsheets or Lotus Notes.
Whether
you choose to embed pointers or cut and paste text and bitmaps, the
end result is the same - paper or fax based information is freely
available to all who need it, when they need it, allowing them to
make the right decisions for your business.
Increase
productivity with OLE and DDE. Of course there are a number of other
features within EDS management software that make scanning, viewing
and sharing images easy. For example, the de-skew feature to
straighten up crooked scans, the rotate feature and zoom function
that make it easier to read text and being able to operate the
scanner, import a fax or
send a document to somebody else directly from the EDS manager tool
bar.
