However, a little bit of computer hardware and the right software can transform that paper into usable, searchable, storable data, saving you time and money. As you move through your day, look at the ways you handle paper—and then start leveraging the power of document imaging to cut costs and increase efficiency. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Cut outside copying costs. Rather than paying outrageous copying costs to replicate documents while away from the office, you may want to take a digital camera with you to photograph them. When choosing a camera for OCR tasks, look for one that includes an image stabilizer and offers resolutions of at least four megapixels.
2. Pick the perfect OCR tools. Invest in an optical character recognition (OCR) product that will convert your digitally photographed images into text. ABBYY FineReader 8.0, for example, takes a JPEG file and converts it into a searchable PDF and/or an editable Microsoft Office document. The software allows for accurate translation even in the face of a variety of photo mishaps. It also corrects some environmental factors, such as the curve created in a page when it is part of a very thick book
3. Pick the perfect scanning tools. Although a simple scanner can do the job, choosing a model that offers some more advanced features can further boost your productivity. Most duplex scanners, for example, incorporate an Automatic Document Feeder, which automatically feeds stacked pa
   Everything You Should Consider Before Buying a Laptop
   Have you thought about buying a new computer recently? Is your old desktop computer on its last legs? I recently had the same problem. My old one could be turned on before I went to bed and would just be booting up to use by morning.I took a look at my bank account, seen I could afford a computer and decided that a new one was definitely a must-buy. I didn’t want to go back using a cumbersome desktop model, though. Their lack of mobility was more of a hassle than it was worth.

      Motivational Sales Speaker explains the #1 Key to Effective Sales Interviews
      Sales Management: Do you have a sales management interview process that defines which sales candidate has the best ‘Right to Win’ for the sales position that’s being interviewed for?In sales organizations located in competitive industries, the sales employee turnover water runs deep; averaging 30-70% per year. That results in a measurable hard-dollar cost, something you can actually put your finger on. But with the proper strategies, process and support tools that cost can be mini

      The A-Z of Exhibiting Overseas
      Exhibiting overseas is one of the fastest and most cost effective ways to identify the best foreign markets for your products/services. International trade shows and fairs offer opportunities for multilateral contacts and business deals. They allow you to test your product’s export suitability; explore the strength and scope of your competition; and gain exposure to potential suppliers, in-country distributors and customers before making any sizable financial commitments.

      Choosing a Domain Name
      Your domain name choice can be critical to your business yet many do not know how to choose a domain name. If you want a successful business you will need it to be accessible from the internet. To achieve that you will need a website, and hence a domain name. The domain name is the name by which your site is known, such as mysitedotcom and the number of domains registered on the internet has increased from about 10 million in the year 2000 to over 50 million now.There are a few a

Most duplex scanners, for example, incorporate an Automatic Document Feeder, which automatically feeds stacked pages into the scanner one at a time.
   8. Keep up with the news. When scanning the latest legal periodicals or newspapers, there’s no need to read every word. Instead, scan them with your OCR program and use the Hot Folder feature available in many OCR programs to automatically create a special in-box directory of items you want to peruse later.
   9. Create good email habits. Your email box is likely to be flooded with important briefs, articles, letters and other documents that are sent as email attachments. These image-only PDFs can be opened and viewed but are not searchable so they can get lost in the shuffle. Use your OCR software to translate them into a searchable PDF that allows the documents to be managed and searched electronically. For example, you can convert image PDFs into searcheble with PDF Transformer.
   10. Throw out the fax machine. A dedicated fax line can be a costly proposition when one considers the cost of equipment, phone charges, paper and time spent in upkeep. An electronic fax service (or a fax server) provides a practical alternative. Electronic faxing allows your office to send and receive faxes as TIFF graphics files, which can be read but not readily used in any other way. To further enhance usability of these documents, use OCR to transform them into editable text or searchable PDFs.
   11. Scan for discovery. Rather than having a secretary retype and reformat responses, use scanning and OC
