Take Control of Your Scanner With New Visioneer OneTouch PowerTools

Thursday 16. April 2009 - Free Software Upgrade for Visioneer OneTouch(R) has new features that give users more options and makes naming and saving files easier than ever.

Visioneer(R), Inc., a leader in intelligent imaging solutions, is pleased to announce Visioneer PowerTools, a free software upgrade for Visioneer OneTouch that brings an even greater level of organization to the document imaging process. Visioneer OneTouch PowerTools give users additional functionality within the Visioneer OneTouch interface to scan to multiple destinations at the same time, save scans with a custom name, pre-select the saving location for scanned images, make adjustments to the image during the scanning process and much, much more.

“PowerTools is the perfect companion to Visioneer OneTouch,” said Walt Thinfen, vice president and chief information officer at Visioneer. “PowerTools introduces many new and valuable features that our customers have been asking for. As a matter of fact, this utility was developed in-house by a member of our technical support team in response to customer requests. We already have a number of customers using the utility and are extremely satisfied with how it addresses their company’s special needs.”

Do More with OneTouch

A link to the PowerTools software is on the Visioneer website. The download will install two new destinations, PowerTools and PowerTools Plus, within the OneTouch interface that can be easily configured for use.

PowerTools allows the user to choose a custom naming scheme, prompt for the file name and/or folder. Users often scan to a default folder and then rename their file after OneTouch assigns a generic file name such as “OT001”. Visioneer PowerTools allows users to give the file a specific name (that relates to the content in the document) during the scanning process. In addition to scanning to a selected folder location, users now have the option to also email the file, create a PDF, print it or send it to another application with the press of a single button. PowerTools also “remembers” previous file names and save locations. This is done through two new options to “Remember Last Name Used” and “Remember Last Folder Used”.

PowerTools Plus gives users the ability to adjust their final image before the scanning process takes place. Users can configure Visioneer OneTouch to automatically remove blank pages, or use blank page as a job separator, clean the edges of a document, black background scanner cropping, page rotation and redaction.
