   Features/Benefits
Improved accuracy
    Greatly improves document legibility, increases the precision of OCR  
translation, optimizes file size, and eliminates time spent rescanning.
Extensive image clean-up
 
Remove background color (Form Refine
TM
 and Advanced Refine
TM
)  
Forms with text on top of a colored background can produce illegible scans.  
By removing the background color and converting color or grayscale  
images to bitonal images, the OCR results are improved and the text is  
much easier to read.
 
Halftone removal—Similar to color, black and white shaded areas interfere 
with the ability to read text after scanning. By eliminating the shading and 
preserving the text, reading, printing, and other post-scan uses are greatly 
improved.
 
Page deskew—Corrects any crooked pages that result from scanning  
or printing.
 
Despeckle—Removes unwanted background dots, creating a smaller and 
cleaner file. The speckle size can be set so desirable specks, such as the dot 
on an “i”, are not removed.
 
Crop—Produces a standard margin around an image by removing excess 
border or adding border to create consistent results.
 
Character smoothing—Improves legibility by smoothing the edges  
of text characters.
 
Grid line removal—Tables and forms have gridlines that can interfere with 
OCR. By eliminating these lines and repairing any text that intersects with the 
lines, scanned documents are easier to read and OCR accuracy is improved.
 
Thicken/thin—Some documents consistently scan poorly because the 
text is too light or too dark. Adding or removing one pixel around everything 
generates a better looking scan that is easier to use.
Improved productivity
    Document post-processing steps are eliminated. Office workers with no 
knowledge of image processing can perform image enhancement tasks with 
the press of a single button as they scan the document.
Simplified processes
    Modular design works with all eCopy Connectors and Extenders and any 
third- party-developed Connectors for eCopy ShareScan.
Seamless workflow integration
    Documents are seamlessly integrated into the workflow of eCopy ShareScan 
through any eCopy or third-party Connector right at the scanning device.
