What it is
PaperStream Capture is Windows software for digitizing, capturing, and indexing documents through scanning workflows. Users can scan, sort, separate, and save documents as searchable PDFs or other selected file types. Separation can be based on page count, blank pages, barcodes, patch codes, OCR, keyboard input, document form, or file size. The software includes default settings and lets advanced users configure profiles; administrators can lock profiles for consistency and use Scanner Central Admin to manage and deploy fleet updates and profiles. Its AIQC function helps select images for data capture and quality control. Listed output formats include PDF, PDF/A, searchable PDF, TIFF, JPEG, BMP, and others, while listed integrations include FTP and SharePoint. PaperStream IP TWAIN or ISIS driver connectivity is required. The manufacturer says it works with current fi Series scanners and may run on an unlimited number of computers. ARM-based Windows 11 support is limited to specified scanner models and the 32-bit PaperStream IP TWAIN driver. The free download is listed for compatible current fi Series scanners.
