2. Introduction
Important! This manual refers to two versions of MedicScan: MedicScan and MedicScanOCR.
Please note that if you purchased MedicScan only, some of MedicScanOCR
advanced features (namely text recognition, extraction and manipulation) are not
available in your version. Whenever this manual refers to options that are only
included in MedicScanOCR, they will be marked as "*OCR Only".
MedicScan scans medical insurance cards, and saves their image in a variety of ways.
When using the automatic page-feed detection, MedicScan launches the scan job
immediately upon the insertion of a document into the ScanShell 800 scanner. In the
ScanShell 1000, the scan job is initiated by pressing any of the scanner buttons. The
image is scanned and saved to the hard disk in a predefined color scheme, resolution,
and scanning area, in a user-defined format (BMP, JPG, PCX, PNG, TIFF, TGA,
PSD). The scanned image can also be rotated automatically, using predefined angles
to obtain the proper orientation. MedicScan offers three naming conventions to the
saved images: fixed name, ascending numerator name, and naming according to the
customer name as extracted from the card.
Full automation of the scan process allows the user to chain-feed the media to the
Scanshell 800 scanner while image processing takes place in the background.
The ScanShell 800 scanner is capable of scanning any photo media due to its
powerful scanning engine – including paper photos, ID cards, and even rigid plastic
credit cards.
The ScanShell 1000 scanner is designed for Passport reading but can also scan any 3"
x 5" or smaller document including ID cards.
MedicScanOCR adds important functionality, namely extensive OCR capabilities. It
extracts the textual information from the medical insurance card image into
appropriate text fields, and saves them to external file, clipboard or third party
software.
With an outstanding card scanning and processing speed of up to 4 seconds per card,
combined with a powerful OCR engine MedicScan and MedicScanOCR are ideal for
customer service offices, government agencies, various businesses, and third party
kiosk applications.
