SideKick will scan the paper or film documents, converting them to digital images that are then stored on CD, DVD, or other magnetic storage. Once the images are digitized you can convert to many different formats including PDF, JPG, TIFF, GIF, etc.
SideKick can also perform optical character recognition (OCR) (OCR: Translates images of text, such as scanned documents, into actual text characters. Also known as text recognition.). By performing OCR, you can then copy recognized text from a scanned image or a fax into a Word, PDF, Excel, or other office program file.
