docuscan allows you to read your own postal mail, letters, bills, magazines and other important papers. Note: for books please upgrade to Docuscan Plus. Note, neither Docuscan nor Docuscan plus can read handwritten materials.
From the SAMNet Desktop, select "Document Scan", the first time, the Document Scan add-on will be automatically downloaded and installed to your computer. After just a few minutes, you will be told that the installation is complete. At this point, just press Escape, and you will be placed back on the SAMNet Desktop. Just re-enter Document Scan, and you can begin reading.
When you open Document Scan, you will be presented with two options:
When you choose the scan new document option, you will be reminded that you should place the paper print side down flat against the glass of the scanner. If the page is upside down or sideways, docuscan will detect this and automatically convert it to the proper format for correct reading. If you have not used your scanner in several minutes, you may need to wait a little longer for the first scan to complete. If no text can be recognized, you will be notified of this, and be presented with a "retry" button.
When you successfully scan a page of text, Document Scan will automatically begin reading the text to you. At this point, you can edit corrections to the scanned information by pressing f7. To scan another page into the document, choose "Scan next page". Important, when the new page of text is processed and read, the prior text is not available until you save the document. If you dislike the scanned results, you can activate the, "Scan this page again" button. When you wish to store your scanned document for later retrieval, choose the, "Save document" button. You will be asked for the name of the set of pages. Just type in a name and press enter. Note, you cannot append pages to a saved document. To abort the current pages you have scanned, and start scanning a fresh new document choose the, "Start over" button.
Browse your scanned documents by choosing the, "Browse Documents" button, you will be presented with a listing of all your save documents. Just choose the document you want to read. You can then delete, or email it by activating the appropriate buttons.
Because Document Scan uses the HomeServer, you will always have access to your documents from a U3 smart drive. You can even scan pages using a U3 smart drive!
