  YPSILANTI, MI - May 11, 2003 - Freedom Imaging Systems (Freedom) optimizes FreeScan capabilities with Kofax’s VirtualReScan. FreeScan VRS (VirtualReScan) incorporates Freedom's scan station with image enhancement technology.

VirtualReScan is an electronic check-point for scanned images. As quickly as images pass through the scanner, VRS performs a multi-point inspection of each document. VRS instantly checks and adjusts for alignment (skew), brightness, contrast, and image clarity. Any inconsistencies are immediately corrected by VRS so that only the straightest, most readable images are moved into your application.

The purpose of document scanning is to electronically create accurate black-and-white images of original source documents. The originals may also be in black-and-white, but most likely they will feature colors, shaded backgrounds, reversed text or other elements difficult for a bitonal scanner to translate into crisp, clean, black-and-white images.

Without VirtualReScan, even the most skilled scanner operator must go through a series of scans and rescans to obtain an acceptable image from a complex document. This process, however, most often yields less than perfect results. And the more documents you have to scan, the longer and more costly this process is.

An alternative is to capture the document images as color or grayscale files. While this results in cleaner, more readable images, it also results in excessively large files -- too large for rapid transport and storage over most conventional networks.

VRS provides the ideal solution. It uses the 256 shades of a grayscale image to analyze and determine the optimum settings for each document. It then converts this image into a small, perfectly readable black-and-white image. Thus VRS gives you the best of both worlds: the highest quality black-and-white images with small file sizes.
