Another new Plustek scanner

We received this press release this week announcing a new scanner from Plustek. It sounds interesting and we want to pass on the information:

Plustek Technology Inc. (www.plustek.com/usa), a manufacturer of consumer, prosumer and professional imaging devices, announced today the launch of its new MobileOffice S410 portable USB-powered scanner.     

“Designed with the reliability demanded by business users, and a price point attractive to home users, the USB powered MobileOffice S410 scanner and document management solution converts paper documents, rigid embossed cards, expense reports, business cards and more to searchable PDF with the touch of a button in six pages per minute,” said Mark Druziak, Plustek’s director of marketing and business development.

The MobileOffice S410 can scan documents to Evernote and photos to Google Picasa by simply pressing a button. The included document management and Optical Character Recognition software suite allows for easy scanning and management of documents. DocAction single touch scanning and industry standard TWAIN drivers ensure compatibility with thousands of scanning and imaging programs including: document management, healthcare electronic medical records, financial, and thousands of other image enabled applications.
   
The built in automatic image processing enables the scanning of mixed sized documents with no adjustments. Images are automatically straightened, rotated and adjusted for exposure. The result is more accurate Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and Business Card Recognition (BCR) which allows for fewer pages that need to be rescanned.
