SimpleIndex 11 has great new features like [[ICR]] [[Handprint Recognition]], [[Email Import]], and new [[Scanning]], [[Cloud OCR]], and [[Barcode]] recognition engines.
It also has significant performance improvements, particularly with very large documents and batches. [[Importing]] batches with thousands of pages and [[Exporting]] [[PDF]] files with over 500 pages are faster by several orders of magnitude. For example, 3,000 page PDF file that used to take 30 minutes or more to create can now be exported in about 30 seconds!

SimpleIndex 11 has great new features like ICR Handprint Recognition, Email Import, and new Scanning, Cloud OCR, and Barcode recognition engines.

It also has significant performance improvements, particularly with very large documents and batches. Importing batches with thousands of pages and Exporting PDF files with over 500 pages are faster by several orders of magnitude. For example, 3,000 page PDF file that used to take 30 minutes or more to create can now be exported in about 30 seconds!
