What is Scan/Fax Search?

Scan/Fax Search

Scan/Fax Search is a cool tool that connects to your computer and makes it super easy to turn a picture or document into a digital version. Usually, when you scan something, you get a picture file. But what if you want the text inside those pictures? That's where Scan/Fax Search comes in! It has tech that can read the images and help you grab that text.

Check Your System First!

Before jumping into installing the app, it's smart to check if your system has .NET Framework. This is needed for everything to work smoothly. The interface is user-friendly, so you won't waste time figuring out what each button does. You’ll get used to it really fast!

Loading Files Made Easy

One little hiccup is that you can’t just drag and drop files into the main window. You’ll have to use the provided methods to load your documents. You can browse for an entire folder or type in the file name if you're looking for something specific.

Searching for Text Strings

If you're after a certain piece of text, there's a special field where you can enter it for searching. It might take a moment, but you'll see all matching files listed on a navigation panel once they're found.

User-Friendly Text Detection

The detected text shows up neatly, with line numbers and highlights making it easy to spot what you need. You can switch between two views: one lets you copy text to another editor while the other shows either just the paragraph with hits or the whole text. Plus, there’s an image preview that lets you see highlighted characters based on your search!

A Handy OCR Tool

All in all, Scan/Fax Search is an awesome app powered by OCR (Optical Character Recognition). It reads text from images and helps find custom strings or pull out all characters easily. It's simple to use and does a great job detecting text most of the time! Want to try it out? Check it out here: Download Scan/Fax Search.
