Nuance launches new document management application

Includes three levels of integration with Microsoft SharePoint for centralised content management

Nuance Communications has launched PaperPort Professional 12, a new release of scanning and document management application for Microsoft Windows. The company claims that the new release delivers interface enhancements, speed and accuracy improvements, integration with Microsoft SharePoint, and a range of new features that help users do more with all of the documents and digital photographs on their PC.

According to Nuance, the PaperPort 12 features a new user interface, matching Microsoft Office and the upcoming Windows 7 'ribbon' approaches. The redesign combines PaperPort’s visual document desktop with ribbon-based menus. A new 'Scan Now' interface addition allows to scan from any part of the application.

Nuance said that the PaperPort 12 adds new PDF features to convert scanned paper forms into fillable PDF forms and create secure PDF documents.

In addition, it also includes three levels of integration with Microsoft SharePoint for centralised content management, providing thumbnail views of SharePoint repositories in the PaperPort visual desktop, supporting drag and drop file transfer to and from SharePoint, and supporting accessing remote SharePoint repositories through VPN and network connections.

The company said that with support for SharePoint, the PaperPort 12 is able to communicate with the Microsoft SharePoint Services 2003, SharePoint Portal 2003, SharePoint Services 2007 and SharePoint Server 2007 document management systems. Now users can get files from these systems, process, and then save the results by sending the output files back through the Send To Bar.

The PaperPort 12, for office professionals and workgroups, is priced at $199.99, and for home and small office customers is priced at $99.99.
