What ScanPapyrus is

ScanPapyrus is Windows scanner software for digitizing documents, books, and printed photos. During batch scanning, it can automatically capture another page after an interval set by the user. For books, it can scan a two-page spread and split the image into individual pages. Image tools can deskew scans, remove black edges, sharpen text, adjust contrast, crop edges, and whiten gray backgrounds. ScanPapyrus supports automatic document feeders and two-sided scanning. It can open PDFs, DjVu files, multi-page TIFFs, and other images for editing, then save processed pages as a new PDF. OCR uses online services, including OCR Web Service and OCR Space, and requires an internet connection plus an account with the service. Recognized text can be exported as searchable PDF, Word, or plain text. PDF export includes password protection and controls for orientation, scaling, and positioning; users can also compress a PDF to a specified file size. The maker lists flatbed scanners and multifunction devices from Kyocera, Epson, Canon, HP, Brother, Samsung, Xerox, and Mustek as compatible. A free version has feature restrictions. The Home License is $19.90 per once for non-commercial use; the Commercial License is $59.90 per once for commercial use on a single workstation.
