Epson Scan 2 vs KODAK Capture Pro Software

Epson Scan 2 is scanning software for Epson scanners and multifunction printers, with a graphical interface for scanner settings and saving scans in different file types. It supports USB connections and network scanning for compatible scanners. On Linux, network scanning requires installation of a plug-in package. Scans can also be started from the command line using a settings file, without opening the main window. Available image adjustments include background removal, text enhancement, color adjustment, descreening, color restoration, backlight correction, and skew correction. The Linux manual documents JPEG, PDF, TIFF, and Multi-TIFF output options. For OCR workflows, Auto Area Segmentation separates text from graphics, while Threshold can help OCR programs recognize text. Epson lists versions for Windows, macOS, and Linux, but supported operating systems and settings depend on the scanner model. Epson's Linux manual says the software has no official support and is distributed without warranty. Epson Scan 2 is free, but requires an Epson scanner or multifunction printer.

KODAK Capture Pro Software converts large volumes of scanned paper documents into information for business processes. It can separate documents automatically and change jobs and profiles while processing large batches. During capture, Intelligent Exception Processing identifies missing information, and Intelligent Quality Control flags questionable information for review. The full version is described as scanning up to 210 pages per minute. Captured information can be routed to ECM systems, SharePoint, and Secure FTP, with output in TIFF, PDF, searchable PDF, and PNG. APIs extend indexing and output capabilities and allow the end-user experience to be customized. Listed partner integrations include DocFinity, SoftExpert Excellence Suite, and UiPath Orchestrator. Capture Pro supports other manufacturers’ ISIS scanners and scanners certified with VRS 4.1 or higher. It can run locally without an internet connection. Workstations are certified for 64-bit Windows 10 and Windows 11 Professional or Enterprise; supported server versions range from Windows Server 2016 through 2025. The Limited Edition is free and includes single-batch scanning. The full version is available by one-year subscription or perpetual license; pricing is on request.
