This is a ‘techie’ review of PaperPort 12 Professional. Meaning it’s a review coming from someone that’s used PaperPort for years and is familiar with company and private use of the application. This is not a regurgitation of corporate brochures and handouts telling you about a product.

I’ve been using PaperPort since version 6; it came with a scanner [Visioneer] along time ago. I’ve never been able to find something quite as unique as PaperPort in the aspect of how it handles documents, images and other snippets of information AND in the range of affordability as PaperPort.

This is what I found…

When your sitting at your desk and your thinking, ‘man, I just wanna go home.’ or your thinking you wished you could just work from home; wouldn’t that be awesome. You need to think about what your saying and try to understand the requirements to work remotely.

You need to understand there’s trade off’s and that working remotely can be a double edged sword.

It’s not all ‘this is easy this is fantastic and to Hell with all those other guys.’- nah- there’s more to it than that.

The concept of working remotely is nice as a passing thought, especially when those days can be just absolutely beautiful; the skies are blue, fresh cut grass, birds chirping and the billowing clouds the glide through. I know, I’ve been there.

The industry of document imaging has really picking up and it’s showing more and more why it’s import to do it, but for the most part I think the average person doesn’t do it.

I’m actually referring to home users. Document imaging is something you do at work and not at home- I guess. Some home users do this and they know the benefits, but I wanted to cover this a bit and see where it goes.

How many times have you been searching forever looking for your old tax returns or looking for that specific document? Those situations will really kick you in the butt, but if you imaged that document, you’d a had it in a few clicks.

Mozilla’s Firefox is by far the most popular browser that’s recorded by my website. The popularity of Firefox has grown steadily over the past couple years and while some potholes have been placed in the road for Firefox [via Chrome], I still consider Firefox the browser of choice.

One of the beautiful things about Firefox is the ability to add extensions. Firefox by itself is a ‘plain Jane’ browser, but by adding extensions to it if you can increase the function it provides and can make the browsing experience more personal.

It’s something everyone should do…

The one thing that I think that current browsers are missing the ability to properly use the display of the webpage in the browser that your using. It can be hard to read sites at times…

A large majority of web pages/sites are constructed to handle 1024 or 1280 displays. The purpose for this is to make the reading or gleaming of information easier. If the letters/words are too small and the sentences are too long [on the site] it’s just hard to track when reading.

Cell phones are doing this natively with the built-in browsers, but for all the power, the PC’s have been omitted from this ability. Cell phones will zoom in on places when you gesture or click an area, but browsers for PC’s are missing the point [IMHO].
