Scantron iNSIGHT 20 Document Scanner
Scantron today announced the iNSIGHT 20, a compact, affordable desktop scanner that combines document imaging technology with the proven data collection capabilities and accuracy of optical mark recognition (OMR). To develop this innovative scanner, Scantron applied more than 50 years of experience in engineering, forms design, worldwide applications development, and customer support. Due to its unique blend of capabilities, the iNSIGHT 20 is well priced and perfectly positioned to address applications such as testing, surveys, attendance, patient encounter, grading, student portfolios, personnel records, archiving, and general back file conversions.
“Scantron continues our commitment to offer our customers reliable and accurate scanning technologies,” said Mike Seeman, Sr. Vice President of Marketing and Product Management at Scantron. “The new iNSIGHT 20 scanner offers our customers a reasonably priced and compact scanner that has the accuracy of OMR and the productivity and flexibility of document imaging.”
For data collection, the iNSIGHT 20 scanner can read written marks (such as bubbles, check marks, tick marks) and bar codes. The scanner, working with ScanTools Plus software from Scantron, can also scan grayscale images for digital storage. In addition, the iNSIGHT 20 can read machine print and handprint using real-time character recognition software (available separately from Scantron).
For document imaging, the scanner can effortlessly handle sheets of multiple sizes and thicknesses in a single batch, from small card stock to long printouts. After scanning, with one click users can select the format of the scanned image, the resolution, the file type, and the destination of the resulting file using the included Click&Scan software.
In document imaging mode, the iNSIGHT 20 scanner, with Click&Scan software, can scan up to 1,800 two-sided black&white, grayscale and color images at 200 dots per inch (dpi) per hour. This versatile, cost-effective scanner is supported by Scantron’s extensive services organization to ensure maximum uptime and customer satisfaction.
