I can answer one of those questions, there is an ability to place a password on
a document, you can find out more about that in the Docuscan+ FAQ page.

All.
If I understand peoples concerns here and using my understanding on how the
service works. Below is a summary:
1. You scan your document.
2. The image is sent to the cloud server.
3. It converts (OCR) and gives you the option of saving it to the cloud or your
pc.

Hello Dane
I'm not nit-picking at all. And clearly you haven't figured out how the
programme works yet. When you scan a document, it is automatically saved to
the cloud first. You have no option there. Yes, you can

I hope that in time more is done on the security of the software, some sort of
encryption would be nice for example which touches on some of the points you're

But you’re still missing the crux issue here. The OCR is done in the cloud
and, therefore, who is to know where your document goes before it reaches your

I sincerely hope this isn’t an issue of “Sides”. It is not a personal
battleground, it’s just intended to be a fair discussion with both sides

Nothing is full proof, we all know that and Docuscan+ can be reasonably secure,
for example you need your account number and password to access the service in
the first place so regular changing of the password is a good idea.

Okay, here's the procedure I use and perhaps this will illustrate the point I'm

After you've finished your scan you will see a "Save To Computer" button below
the HTML content, use this to save your scan to the computer and then if you
close the window with command-W this will close the
Which, while it may seem like a good thing, can also be a security risk as you
rightly point out especially when dealing with sensitive documents, one example
here that is starting to become an issue is the new health care law. But that's
getting way off topic.

This is exactly how it works. Your document is sent to the cloud as an image
and the OCR is done in the cloud.

Okay… I assume this would either be accomplished through a save dialogue or in

I’m not nit-picking at all. And clearly you haven’t figured out how the

Yes, you're right about the Cloud however, you can save to your computer thus
the document doesn't stay in the cloud, when you save to your computer and then
close the document window then the document disappears.

Dane, I have to agree with Gordon here, I don't have this program but I think
how it works is when you scan a document, it is initially sent to the cloud to
be converted to text. If this is indeed the case, I can see where he is coming
from. If not, my apologies, I'm not exactly well-versed in
Nit picking.
I'm using Docuscan+ now so you're worried about security? Then you save your
scanned documents to your computer and not in the cloud.

I must point out here that if you use DocuScan Plus, you have no alternative
but to use the cloud technologies. There are some, including us, who are a
little unsettled regarding security if you’re scanning sensitive material.
