What is Kofax VRS?

VRS reduces the time involved in manual document preparation and enhances the quality of scanned images. Capturing high-quality images is critical to the rest of the document management process because image quality significantly impacts the success of data extraction, recognition, and retrieval.

Perfect Images
Scanning is only half the battle. The most important part about capturing images is your ability to find, retrieve, and use them later. The superior quality of VirtualReScan® (VRS)-created images means documents are easier to index and easier to read.
Reduced Document Preparation with Content-based Rotation
No need to turn all your documents to the same orientation before scanning. VRS will automatically analyze the content of each scanned document and correct the orientation of the image on the fly. Even when scanning in duplex mode! Feed a document in all possible orientations, whether it’s upside down or reversed, skewed or rotated 90 degrees right or left, VRS turns it right.
Easy to Use
Scanning is simple and easy with VRS. No special knowledge of scanning, special filters, or image enhancement is required. Operators just press the scan button and VRS does the rest.
Capture Color On Demand
Scan mixed batches of black & white and color documents. VRS automatically detects the documents that should be black & white from those that should stay in color. Easily capture spot color as well.
Network-friendly Images
Noisy backgrounds and shaded areas are suppressed, resulting in ultra-compact image files ideal for display and rapid retrieval over your network.
Intelligent Blank Page Detection
VRS is able to determine if the back side of a page contains real information, or if it is simply bleed through from the front of the page. If VRS determines that the back side is bleed through, then it deletes the image. If VRS detects real content, the image is saved.

Advanced Clarity
Even the toughest documents – blueprints, wrinkled paper, security paper – are no match for VRS 4.1 Professional. The new Advanced Clarity feature in VRS 4.1 Professional offers an additional image quality option to process documents with complicated, textured backgrounds.
Background Smoothing
Based on a simple setting, VRS automatically analyzes images while scanning and outputs an image with a solidified background color. This improves viewing clarity and reduces file size, making it more practical to save color documents that are part of the business process.
Improved Recognition
Since VRS automatically straightens and cleans each scanned image, the accuracy of your optical character recognition and handwriting recognition software increases dramatically.
Scan at Rated Speed
Allows scanners to operate at their full rated speed without interruptions. All VRS features work at rated scanner speed, regardless of scan mode (black & white, grayscale, or color), or your scan application’s interface (KOFAX, ISIS,TWAIN).
Easy to Use Interface
One of the problems with document scanning is related to the differences between scanner user interfaces. In a mixed scanner environment, VRS provides a single, unified and easy to use interface minimizing operator training and confusion.
Automatic Cropping and Deskew for All Scanners
VRS offers automatic cropping and deskew for all scanners including white background scanners. In the past, this required a black background scanner or special black background kit. Now, VRS includes automatic background cropping and deskew available on all VRS certified scanners.
Eliminate Hole Punch Markings
Fills holes with surrounding page color on documents with content, improving their appearance and removing distractions for the reader. Ignores holes on pages lacking content, enhancing performance of automatic blank page deletion feature.

What are Telnet and SSH?

"Telnet" and "SSH" are types of terminal session (also called "terminal emulation") programs that allow users to conduct interactive sessions with computers elsewhere on the Internet by providing a character-based (i.e., non-graphical) connection. Examples of telnet/ssh programs are TeraTerm (for Windows) and BetterTelnet (for Macintosh).

PuTTY is a free implementation of Telnet and SSH for Win32 and Unix platforms, along with an xterm terminal emulator.
