Flexibility to meet the needs of any job. The Strobe 500 has all the features you expect in a powerful desktop scanner
such as an 20-page Automatic Document Feeder, 30 images per minute duplex scanning speed, and Visioneer OneTouch
with Kofax VRS technology. Then at the push of a button, the Strobe 500 ejects from its docking station to become a full
function mobile scanner with USB-powered operation.
When your office is not contained within four walls and can be anywhere you are, you need a scanner with flexibility.
Healthcare, real estate, construction, financial services, insurance are just some of the occupations the Strobe 500 was
designed for. Whether scanning contracts, forms, receipts, photos, ID cards, handwritten notes or virtually any document
of varying size or complexity, the Strobe 500 does its job so you can do yours.

Visioneer® OneTouch®
Visioneer OneTouch is an easy to use utility that
connects the buttons on the Strobe scanner with a
powerful set of scanner settings to greatly improve
the efficiency of your workflow – so that with one
touch, the document is scanned automatically
to email, or Word, or your printer, or simply a file
folder.
Text Searchable PDF
If you can’t search your scanned documents by
their content, you might as well be looking at
paper again. The Strobe 500 can scan automati-
cally to searchable PDF. It preserves the integrity
of the scanned page so that layout, signatures,
logos, photos, etc., remain intact, but the text is
OCR’d so that you can search the document by its
content. This is very powerful when looking for a
single document among hundreds or thousands.
Kofax® VRS™ technology
The Strobe 500 integrates Kofax VRS image
enhancement technology into the OneTouch scan-
ning process. VRS is the gold-standard in image
improvement technology. Imperfect originals
are automatically turned into perfect scans that
are easier to read for the human eye and the
computer’s eye. OCR results are dramatically
improved, file size is decreased and scans look as
clear as the originals. And every page is custom
corrected automatically so you can batch together
clean, laser quality documents with your imperfect
originals. The results are amazing.
Nuance® PaperPort®
Millions of professionals rely on PaperPort to save
time and money by transforming paper documents
into searchable digital documents. PaperPort
combines the efficiency of document management,
the convenience of superbly scanned documents
and the power of creating PDF files, to bring a new
level of operational proficiency to you organization.
Nuance® OmniPage Pro®
Provides a precise OCR and layout retention solu-
tion, quickly turning scanned documents into edit-
able, formatted text. The text can then be used in
virtually any word processing, desktop publishing
or web publishing program.
