Key Benefits

A better way to scan documents: Scan your way out of the clutter with PaperPort 12. You don’t have to be a scanning expert or purchase special equipment. Use PaperPort with your home scanner or all-in-one device to produce high-quality scans of all your paper documents and photos with the simple push of a button you get perfect scans on your PC desktop.

Eliminate paper and go green: Paper clutter is a nuisance, making you feel disorganized and causing you to lose valuable time searching for important documents. But paper proliferation has more serious consequences, too. In the last 20 years, the combined usage of today’s top ten paper-consuming countries has increased from 92 million tons to 208 million — a growth rate of 126%. Paper represents everything that is environmentally unfriendly. By eliminating paper, PaperPort breaks the cycle of printing, copying and mailing, so you reduce waste and conserve energy. Plus, it puts all of your paper documents and application files in one convenient digital desktop location so you can be more organized than ever before.

No need to remember the name of every file. PaperPort’s got you covered.
