The IRIScan™ Desk incorporates OCR (Optical Character Recognition). This allows the desktop camera scanner to recognise more than 130 languages (including Arabic, Chinese, and Hebrew). Thanks to OCR, preserve the layout of your document whilst making it editable. Take advantage of a wide choice of export formats: JPG, PDF, TXT, JPG+XLS, JPG+TXT. In addition, the IRIScan™ Desk detects when multiple documents are placed under its camera: their edges are detected very accurately.

What are the limitations and best practices

  • Please always use the black mat supplied with the device.
  • The best OCR results are obtained from a matte document; a shiny surface may produce results of lower quality.
  • The best results are obtained in standard work environment lighting conditions; too much brightness can affect the quality of the result (direct sunlight, for example, does not suit the scanner).
  • The available book export formats are as follows: PDF image, indexed PDF image & text, JPEG, and ePub. Audio formats (MP3 and WAV) are available as an option with Readiris Corporate.
  • This scanner is not optimised for photo scanning.
  • A “passport holder” (available as an option for ease of use and optimised results) helps with passport scanning.
  • IRISPowerscan™ (optional) must be installed if you wish to extract meta data from official documents (passports, ID cards, health cards, etc.).
