SDI: Scanning management and image processing software
Professional software for managing digitization and batch imaging projects:
- Best choice for professional processing
- Variety of hardware and software tools
- Compliance with modern quality standards
- Intelligent processing algorithms
The professional version of SDI (software for document imaging) provides an extensive list of tools for efficient scanning work in companies and institutions of various profiles.
Availability of advanced image manipulation tools — Several dozens of intelligent algorithms (filters) for various post-processing and image correction, allowing you to significantly improve the quality of original graphic images and bring digital copies to full compliance with the requirements for electronic copies of various purposes in «one click». The system provides efficient stream processing, metadata management and file cataloging.
Expanding scanning equipment capabilities — Single point of entry for centralized processing of images from different scanning devices according to unified parameters. Manual loading of images from external sources or automatic import of files in the «hot folder» mode. Can be installed on an external PC to organize a universal station for working with digital content.
Innovative functionality. One of the most powerful and advanced tools for working with electronic images
Convenient use
Modern, intuitive interface provides easy and clear access to all imaging tools
Post-processing editor
Freely upload files from a variety of sources and perform professional one-click processing with built-in filters
Work automation
Automatic processing during scanning or streaming using preconfigured profiles
One-stop shop for all stages of preparation of digital resources and provision of centralized support for scanning processes
The system allows you to check and process images captured on one or more scanners. With SDI, you can set up a professional digitization center for any complexity of tasks
Direct control of ElarScan scanners
Integrated control
SDI allows you to control all software and hardware functionality of the scanner. It provides setting of scanning modes, start of digitization processes, control of motorized elements (glass, cradle, zoom) and software image processing tools
Intelligent image correction algorithms
Correct geometric distortion after V-scanning, separate pages, correct color — SDI provides many tools to make digitization processes more efficient.
Innovative page bend elimination algorithm removes any limitations when scanning stapled documents
Automatic rotation, line alignment and format trimming make the scanning process as convenient as possible
With the fingerprint masking feature, you can maintain and straighten pages directly during scanning
Place multiple objects on the cradle — the system automatically recognizes, scans and saves each piece to a separate file
Built-in virtual assistants help users of all backgrounds become digitization professionals
Built-in text recognition (50 languages)
SDI has a built-in OCR system for full-text recognition (50 languages) and saving documents in archived PDF/A format with text search capability
Export with output resolution parameters and convert files to various formats: TIFF, JPEG, PDF, etc.
