WHAT’S NEW

Point and capture
ABBYY has introduced Real-Time
Recognition technology that enables
‘instant’ text extraction from documents
and objects included in live video
streams from smartphones and mobile
devices. Applications based on the
ABBYY Real-Time Recognition software
development kit can pull text from
on-screen objects and automatically
convert it into data. The conversion
takes place directly on the mobile device
and within the mobile application.
Bodet has launched a paper-free time
and attendance system for organisations
with up to 100 employees. Workers can
clock in and out at the Timebox using
a proximity badge, keyfob or fingerprint.
Timings are stored on a database, from
where they can be downloaded to a
portable USB drive or sent across the
network to the central server. Attendance
reports generated by Bodet’s software
can be exported as Excel files.
Secure scanner
Epson describes the WorkForce DS-780N as its most
intelligent business scanner yet. With an interactive
touchscreen and built-in networking, it features a
100-sheet automatic document feeder; USB 3.0
compatibility; fast colour scan speeds
of 45ppm/90ipm at 300dpi; a ‘slow
mode’ for delicate documents; and
enhanced security features.
These include PIN code, IC
card and user directory
(LDAP) access;
centralised control;
and a control
panel lock
to prevent
tampering.
Big screen
productivity
Launched at the same time as
Samsung’s 5.8in Galaxy S8
and 6.2in S8+ smartphones
with bezel-less Infinity Display,
the Samsung DeX Station
docking unit enables a Galaxy
S8 to be used with a larger
HDMI-compatible monitor and
full-size keyboard and mouse.
Adaptive Fast Charging (AFC)
technology charges the S8
while it is connected.
Easy expenses management
Fujitsu and Expensify are working together to
streamline expenses management for small office/
home office users. The combination of Fujitsu
ScanSnap scanners and Expensify receipts and
expenses management software makes it easy to
send receipts from a ScanSnap directly to Expensify
via the ScanSnap Cloud service. The free ScanSnap
Cloud enables users of ScanSnap iX100 and iX500
wireless scanners to send scanned data directly
to their favourite cloud service independently of a
computer or mobile device.
