Watched Folder
(This section applies to Readiris Corporate only)
If you need to scan entire batches of documents, on a scanner equipped with a document feeder, for
instance, you can use Readiris' Watched Folder feature. This way, you can scan all your documents to a
specific folder that is being monitored by Readiris. Whenever Readiris spots a new document inside the
Watched Folder, it processes it and sends it to an output folder.
To set up a Watched Folder:
 On the Process menu, click Watched Folder.
 Select an Image input folder.
This is the folder from which you scan the documents.
 Select an Output format.
See the topic Select the Output Format for more information.
 Select an Output folder or account.
This is the folder or account where your processed documents will be stored.
Note: to select a Cloud account, you must first configure it in Readiris > Preferences >
Accounts.
See the topic Select the Destination for more information.
Important note: do not select an output folder that is also being used as Watched Folder.
Watched Folder Options
 In case you want to process the underlying subfolders of the Watched Folder, select Process
subfolders.
 If you want Readiris to overwrite existing output files in the Text output folder, select Overwrite
text files.
 If you want Readiris to delete the original images from the Watched Folder after processing, select
Delete images after processing.
When you are done selecting the options, click OK for Readiris to start monitoring the Watched
Folder.
Readiris will process any images it spots inside the folder.
