ScanFile does not have separate applications for scanning and viewing documents. Just one application allows you to carry out all of the tasks. Additionally, the Folder Toolbox adds allows users to swap between scanning, searching and editing at any time without having to change windows or select options from the menu’s. Typically, a user can be trained to use the basic functions of Scanfile in less than 15 minutes.
Creating a storage folder for your documents is quick and simple. Create up to 10 fields, specify what kind of information they are going to hold, add a keyword list if required, and save it. The folder is then ready for you to add documents to.
You can create as many different folders as you wish, in different locations on your workstation or network storage location.
The extended settings and properties allow you to configure input masks, duplicate entry checks, mandatory fields and much more.
All this can be taught to your staff in a short space of time.
ScanFile can display over 200 different document types, including all the most popular formats such as TIFF, JPG, PDF and MS-Office documents.
Also included are easy to use document navigation tools allowing you to quickly page through any document, and change its level of zoom and rotation.
You can view documents as thumbnails, and then select the pages you want to see, and you can also view multiple pages or documents at the same time.

The core ScanFile product is a powerful document management system, but it is made even more substantial with a number of optional modules available at cost effective pricing. These include:
Libraries
Now part of the core package, ScanFile libraries gather together all index data from single ScanFile Folders. Thus, letting you catalogue a series of related ScanFile folders, for example having a ScanFile Library for 2017 invoices containing the searchable index data from the 12 ScanFile folders you created for each month January 2017 to December 2017).
Barcode recognition
Allowing up to 10 barcodes from a single page to be read and used to automatically populate searchable index fields, can be a very fast way to process your existing documentation with minimal need for user’s to before data entry on their keyboards.
OCR
The two key means of using OCR in ScanFile are: i) to populate index fields by using Zonal OCR to read specific areas of a page for the required information, for example, Invoice Number, Date, Reference Number or ii) to carry out a Full Text OCR capture allowing you to search for keywords or phrases that you need to find in large documents fast, across multiple documents in one quick and easy search.
Form recognition
Continuing on from OCR, this module will read different forms and instinctively be able to adjust to different Zonal OCR settings to find the relevant sections of a page and write the data into indexing field information that you can search by in the future.
Activity report
A form of advanced audit trail for ScanFile, which if you require can report on all activities of all users in a central database. This data can then be searched, narrowed down with filters (by user, by library/folder, by date, etc), accessed and printed out from inside of ScanFile.
Document routing
The ability to have ScanFile send documents between different users in a department, in a specified set of stages allows you the ability to further automate the Document Management process from data entry and capture to verification and approval of digital documents.
COLD (Computer Output on LaserDisk)
To get away from having to store spool files on microfiche or even still in printed form, the COLD module is capable of importing and automatically indexing these files.
Virtual Network Printer (VNP)
Using ScanFile VNP, you gain a virtual printer to your printers list that when printing documents to this printer, will convert the document to image files (Tiff Format) and store them in a specified location that can then be read from to import the documents into ScanFile. During this process, the documents can also be read by either Zonal or Full Text OCR engines, providing you’ve purchased the OCR module.
