The record

Purpose: ExactScan scans, files, sorts, archives, and helps users find documents for a paperless office workflow.
Image cleanup: Built-in processing detects paper size, corrects skew, optimizes black-and-white scans, and detects blank pages.
Profiles and output: Users can create scan profiles, scan to PDF or other formats, and create searchable PDFs on the fly.
Integrations: ExactScan can act as a TWAIN driver and send resulting image files to third-party applications that do not support TWAIN or ImageCapture.
Automation: ExactScan includes AppleScript support for accessing profiles, setting scan options and destinations, and monitoring processing status.
Pro OCR: ExactScan Pro creates searchable PDFs and its OCR engine supports 26 listed languages.
Pro batch tools: Pro can automatically rotate pages, append pages to PDFs, recognize 1D barcodes, imprint text, and batch-process existing PDFs or bitmap files.
Enterprise formats and speed: Enterprise supports high-speed scanners rated at 100 pages per minute and higher, PDF/A-1b, and 2D, Datamatrix, and PDF-417 barcode recognition.
Trial: The maker offers a free 14-day trial that can be unlocked with a purchased license key.
Updates: The maker provides support and free software updates for at least two years after initial installation and activation; later-version upgrades are available at a reduced price.
Support: ExactScan support is available by email at [email protected].
Compatibility limitation: A scanner may not appear in ExactScan if another application is accessing it exclusively; the maker advises closing that application.
License guidance: The FAQ says one license can be shared across personal computers and suggests one license per permanently used scan workstation/scanner combination for for-profit businesses.
Headquarters: Berlin, Germany
