To CaputreOnTouch software it can be said that this looks fairly modern and the handling is good. Compared to its competitors, Canon is ahead here clearly.
The scanning and OCR recognition
the documents are scanned by the scanner in U-shape and then again ejected upward. This is also the reason why only a small space is required on the desktop. This is an advantage, but not a decisive criterion for many prospective buyers, although compared to other document scanners. The thing, however, there is a downside and so to obstruct the view of the feeder for documents already scanned and then ejected. When new documents are to be created after the move, then both hands should be for free. It occasionally happens that already scanned documents then again end up in the document feeder. The Canon imageFORMULA DR-C225 document scanners can do the actual scanning process really fast. Only every now and then the small-format documents as for example receipt hanging however, remain n. is the incorrect document feeder, then the entire scan is performed again. Optical character recognition works well and generally be recognized also the texts which are set in smaller font. On the feeder side guides are relatively short and some documents are scanned so wrong. Some error can be straightened by the enclosed software, where then the OCR function has difficulty with the wrong scanned documents. Can who want to transfer the scanned documents directly to mobile devices, on the iOS device or Android powered device which install CaptureOnTouch mobile. This work quickly and without complications. All scans can be stored as PPTX files, PNG files as TIF files as JPG files or PDFs.
