How are Shoeboxed’s in-house scanners better than standard desktop and portable scanners?
We can help you get the most value out of even your most faded receipts because our scanners have these great features:
- Advanced clarity features make even “unreadable” images legible.
- Automatic image orientation adjusts skewed images, even completely rotating upside down ones, so all captured images are oriented in the same direction.
- Correctly identifies and retains color when it is integral to a document (e.g., logo, photo, date stamp) and eliminates it when it is not (e.g., colored paper stock).
- Laser recognition of paper width in feed tray to ensure that all receipts are scanned one at a time.
- Capability to scan extra-long receipts. Standard desktop and portable scanners are usually limited to paper under 14 inches in length. We can process receipts that are almost three feet long.
