Kofax PaperPort

Formerly Nuance

We use Kofax PaperPort to work towards a 'paperless office'. We scan in receipts, invoices from other vendors, etc. It helps us keep everything organized and 'searchable'. We can then shred the paper copies allowing for a lot less filing cabinets. Kofax PaperPort also allows us to edit any PDF Documents, stack multiple documents, etc.

I have a whole on-line filing system using PDF documents sent to me, or scanned into PaperPort. These documents can be easily obtained for reference, or emailed to a third party. I also use many of the editing features that are available. It's a very powerful program.

Kofax PaperPort is used by everyone in the organization but primarily used by Administration, HR and Finance functions as they need to deal with a lot of physical documents. It is also used by a lot of operation teams handling clients' Accounts Payable processed. It enables an organization to create a digital filing system with search and indexing capabilities to find the information easily. Also, with its inbuilt OCR capabilities, it also helps extract unstructured information from the documents and convert it into structured information.

I had used PaperPort for 10 years with great success. Unfortunately, when I upgraded to the pro version I found it difficult to set up a template. Now I have to re-set all scan parameters each time I want to scan something. I had to stop using it in favor of the scanning device software. I tried to find a number for customer service, but can't find one anywhere on the site that yields a live person to discuss my issues. Although I have really liked this product for years there is now a disconnect in customer service. It shouldn't be that hard to get a five minute conversation to solve this issue.

Scanning to a computer system for archival purposes is fairly easy, but the ability to "clean up" a scan, and to save just portions of a scan is only possible with a tool like PaperPort.
From PaperPort's entry into the business world via Visioneer's Scansoft and Xerox Corporation's OCR push in the mid-1990s to today's PaperPort Pro have been the most useful tool in my office.

A good document management program. I use "Duplicate" and "Unstack / Stack" a LOT. I have used this program for over a decade. Solid performance.

Had been using it as file organizer and to complete documents. Sadly, it's stopped working!

PaperPort is an invaluable File Management Tool. My copy is currently storing close to 100,000 files of a significant variety in many different formats. Its functionality includes rapid access and rapid file conversion to different formats. Its import of scans and integration with my scanner is without peer.

I use it both for business and personal use. PaperPort Pro is a great suite of tools to not only scan documents but also manage and manipulate them as well. It has features to help you organize all of your files and directory structures, edit documents, convert documents, input documents, and share documents. I could not operate my solo law practice without it. I also use it for all the other businesses I operate, both for-profit, and non-profits.
