Words without boundaries, Serotek's DocuScan Plus OCR Goes Multi-Platform
With Support For The Mac
Serotek Corporation, <blocked::http://www.serotek.com/> the leading
provider of accessible, multi-platform cloud-based solutions, is proud to
announce the availability of DocuScan Plus for the Apple
<blocked::http://www.apple.com/> (AAPL) Macintosh platform. DocuScan Plus,
released for the Microsoft Windows
<blocked::http://www.microsoft.com/windows> platform in November 2010,
allows individuals with a computer and attached imaging device to scan and
convert printed materials in to text, and to store these documents in the
cloud for easy retrieval on either Operating System from anywhere. The newly
released Mac application contains the same compelling features as found in
its wildly successful Windows counterpart, including easy conversion to
daisy, Braille and MP3 formats, sending to Amazon Kindle,
<blocked::http://www.amazon.com/kindle> password protection options, and
saving to a local computer in large print or Rich Text Format. DocuScan Plus
represents the first fully accessible cloud-based OCR solution to be
available in the Mac app store.
"When we designed DocuScan Plus for Windows with cloud-based features,
bringing it to the Mac was the next logical step," said Mike Calvo, CEO.
"People don't use just one computer, or even one operating system anymore,
and they need to access their information regardless of which platform
they're using at any given time." "Apple has a host of accessibility
features already built in to the operating system," continued Calvo.
"Because of this, we were able to make an application that is universally
compelling in its own right, regardless of whether you're print-disabled,
and its accessible right out of the box to a very wide audience."
DocuScan Plus is designed with an easy and intuitive interface, and works
seamlessly with Apple's Voiceover screen reader and Zoom magnifier. The
application can be used in conjunction with the wide variety of Braille
displays which are supported with Voiceover. The $299 price for this service
provides users the ability to utilize DocuScan Plus on both the Windows and
Mac platforms without paying a premium. This unique approach continues
Serotek's philosophy of offering accessibility anywhere at an affordable
price, which is unparalleled in the Assistive Technology Industry.
The app is now available
<blocked::http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=
432595763&mt=12> through the Mac app store, and you can learn more about the
revolutionary DocuScan Plus by visiting www.docuscanplus.com
