  • Fast and easy image enhancement – The software automatically remedies capture issues in cameras and smartphones, such as low-quality camera photos, distorted document perspective and warped text, to deliver high-quality images.
  • Business process simplification – A standard interface for scanning and printing, new and updated Document Management System (DMS) routing components, a new Forms Overlay component and greater flexibility when routing to RightFax all provide the ability to reduce complex operations into greatly simplified workflows at the touch of a button.
