Overview
Working with Sharpdesk, you can:
• Scan Images and Documents Sharpdesk works with your scanner to let you read paper
documents into your PC using all of the scanning controls and options provided with your
TWAIN scanner or Sharp multi-functional peripheral (MFP) with the Network Scanner
Tool option. Sharpdesk provides you with both “simple” scanning options as well as
“advanced” options, giving you full control over scanning preferences.
• Convert Images to Text Text images scanned into Sharpdesk can be converted into
editable text for use with common word processors. Sharpdesk uses an advanced Optical
Character Recognition (OCR) engine that even preserves your document layouts. You can
also convert an image containing text into a word processing format by simply dragging it
from any folder onto the Sharpdesk Output Zone.
• Prepare Production Ready Documents Using Sharpdesk Composer, you can combine
files of different types into a single production-ready document. For example, combine a
Word
®
file with an Excel
®
file and then add in a Lotus
®
file. In general, any application that
can send documents to a printer can contribute pages to a Composer document. Reorder
pages as you want them to appear and then print the entire document into stapled sets,
making a single trip to the printer to collect your new documents.
• View Your Images Using Sharpdesk Imaging, viewing your stored images, scanned
images, and digital camera images is quick and easy.
• Distribute Your Documents Distribute documents by e-mail or print a hard copy as
easily as dragging a file onto an icon on the Sharpdesk Output Zone.
• Import/Export an Image or Document Import, store, and manage .BMP,.JPG, .PCX, or
.TIF documents and images directly from Sharpdesk.
• Advanced Search Capabilities Search for images and documents using a wide variety
of search criteria including a single word, a phrase, or a list of words. Search for particular
images or documents using a document path, image/document type, modified date,
image/document size, a document’s property specifications, or Boolean operations “and”,
“or”, “not”, or “near”
.
