PaperPort

provides the easiest way to turn paper into organized digital
documents that everybody in an office can quickly find and use. PaperPort works
with scanners, multifunction printers, and networked digital copiers to turn
paper documents into digital documents. It then helps you to manage them
along with all other electronic documents in one convenient and easy-to-use
filing system.
PaperPort’s large, clear item thumbnails allow you to visually organize, retrieve
and use your scanned documents, including Word files, spreadsheets, PDF files
and even digital photos. PaperPort’s Scanner Enhancement Technology tools
ensure that scanned documents will look great while the annotation tools let you
add notes and highlights to any scanned image.
