PaperPort

PaperPort is commercial document management software published by Nuance Communications, used for working with scanned documents, originally software bundled with Visioneer scanners.

Depending on the version, PaperPort can use its built-in optical character recognition to create files in searchable Portable Document Format (PDF); text in these files is indexed and can be searched for with appropriate software, such as Microsoft's Windows Search. Earlier versions of PaperPort used Nuance's OmniPage to provide this function. It provides image editing tools for these files.
