KODAK Capture Pro Software vs NAPS2

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.

NAPS2 is free, open-source software for scanning documents and saving them as PDF, TIFF, JPEG, or PNG. It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, and supports WIA and TWAIN drivers with flatbed or automatic document feeder scanners, including duplex scanning. Users can reorder, interleave, rotate, crop, deskew, and adjust scanned pages’ brightness and contrast. OCR makes scans searchable, supports more than 100 languages, and can add text recognition to imported PDFs. NAPS2 can share scanners across a local network using ESCL, including with compatible Android and iPhone apps, but it must remain running on the server for sharing to work. It can send email through Gmail and Outlook, with the email address and secure sending token kept on the user’s computer and sent only to the relevant provider. Optional developer tools include a command-line interface for automation and a .NET scanning library. The free plan has no ads or restrictions, though OCR results cannot be saved directly to a text file.
