SimpleIndex Document Management Software Support

TWAIN & ISIS


Use Any Scanner with a TWAIN or ISIS® Driver


Virtually all document scanners support both the TWAIN and ISIS driver standards.  TWAIN is more common and is usually the only driver provided with consumer scanner models.  ISIS is the driver standard developed by Pixel Translations.  ISIS provides a more standardized interface for high-speed scanners, and is often required to scan at the scanners rated speed.

TWAIN scanning is supported in all versions of SimpleIndex.  Support for ISIS is included with SimpleIndex Full and available as an Add-on for other versions.  ISIS is recommended for high-speed document scanners over 40 pages per minute, or applications that require central management of scanner settings.  ISIS driver settings can be saved to a file and distributed to users, preventing them from scanning with incorrect color or resolution settings.

Latest Enhancements to Scanning Functions

We are constantly improving the scanning features of SimpleIndex to take advantage of the latest scanning technology. The following new features have been added in SimpleIndex 7:
  • Support for multi-stream scanning, where color and black & white images are scanned simultaneously.
  • View up to 9 pages at once in ISIS mode. This lets you see both the front and back of the page, or all versions of a multi-stream scan simultaneously.
  • Improved real-time processing during scan (barcodes, image enhancement, auto-rotate, etc.).
  • Scan directly to a network folder, skipping the processing and export steps.
  • New, faster TWAIN driver interface with support for more scanners and features.

Unique Book & Magazine Scanning Features

SimpleIndex streamlines the process of scanning books and magazines.  Anyone who commonly scans bound material needs SimpleIndex just for this feature!

Book scanning lets you scan bound books quickly on a flatbed scanner.  The user is prompted after each scan so they only need to turn the page and press "enter" to perform the next scan.  2-page scans can be automatically split vertically or horizontally to create single page images.

When scanning a typical tabloid-sized magazine that is folded down the middle, SimpleIndex's magazine scanning function will automatically split the images in half, reorder and rotate the pages so they appear in proper reading order when finished.  This can save hundreds of hours of manual image QC, or provide your clients with a level of image quality they can't get from anyone else.
