Hi all.
Any way we can try this for free before forking out the $299? Read it
yesterday with interest. Now it has been officially released I'm asking
this question.
Many thanks in advance.
Take care.

For Immediate Release
Minneapolis, Minnesota, November 24, 2010
Serotek Corporation, the leading provider of accessible multi platform
and cloud-based solutions which can be accessed from anywhere, is proud
to announce the release of DocuScan Plus. This innovative software
allows persons to scan and read documents from any computer with an
attached Twain-compliant scanner, sound card and internet connection.
Serotek's DocuScan Plus offers high-quality optical character
recognition, (OCR), to convert the printed page in to text. This
self-voicing application can read both printed pages from a
Twain-compliant scanner, as well as many types of PDF files, including
those containing text and those containing only images. The software
also supports scanners with duplex and ADF (automatic document feeder)
capabilities. DocuScan Plus can convert scanned documents in to MP3
audio files for playback on many portable devices, and the software can
even convert scanned materials in to the popular DAISY format. For Low
Vision users, DocuScan Plus also offers a full Screen Magnifier for the
reading of scanned text. This magnification option, when combined with
the self voicing features of DocuScan Plus, allows documents to be
comfortably read from the screen as well as via text-to-speech.
Materials can also be saved in Large Print. In this way, documents can
be scanned, printed, and shared with friends or viewed offline under a
Video magnifier.
"We wanted to create an affordable application that really took in to
account the way we access the printed word in the 21st century.", said
Mike Calvo, CEO. "We don't spend all our time on one computer, or even
one device anymore, so why should we be using software based on that
model? When we make a product like this, with a feature set that's
useful to people with a wide variety of disabilities,and it's just as
easy to use from the classroom computer as it is from home, we believe
it has the potential to open a lot of doors that have remained closed
until now."
The DocuScan Plus software can be used as an installed program from your
personal computer, or it can be accessed from any computer simply by
visiting http://www.DocuScanPlus.com. The program may be purchased for
only $299, or less than one third of the cost of < /span>
other scanning solutions.
Other features included are:
Braille Conversion: DocuScan Plus contains Braille translation options,
allowing you to convert your scanned pages and PDF files into a variety
of different braille formats based on the specific translation table you
choose.
Save To Kindle: Wirelessly Transfer scanned documents to the Amazon
Kindle for reading on the go using the Kindle's built in text to speech
function.
Export Scanned Text: Save documents and materials to a computer or
portable DAISY player for offline reading.
Encrypted Online Storage: Save documents securely to the cloud and
retrieve them from anywhere.
Additional Synthesizer Support: Choose from a variety of synthesizers
for use with this self-voicing application.
Additional Support For Mobile Platforms: DocuScan Plus will support some
external camera and mobile phone platforms. This functionality will come
free with DocuScan Plus and it is currently scheduled for release in the
first quarter of 2011.
DocuScan Plus may be used independently of any other Serotek software.
The application can allow persons to read the printed page with any
Windows-based computer, regardless of whether any access technology has
been installed or is currently running.
