PaperPort 2.0 for Windows ($399) scans at resolutions of up to 400 dpi, providing better OCR accuracy when scanning documents with small text, such as business cards. The input device accepts paper sizes from 2 to 30 inches. In addition, the device uses the company's paper-driven technology, which automatically zips in documents, compresses, crops, straightens, and trims.
PaperPort has direct links to more than 50 desktop applications, such as OCR, fax, contact management, and document management. When you drag and drop a document onto one of these links, the Auto-Launch feature instantly opens the application and places the PaperPort document within it.
