• Advanced OCR recognition. ScanSpeeder incorporates optical character recognition technology that identifies text in scanned images. The system analyzes the document structure, detects text blocks, and performs conversion to editable formats. The OCR engine supports multiple languages and recognizes different font styles with high precision.
• Orientation correction. This function automatically detects incorrect page orientation and rotates them to the correct position. The algorithm analyzes text direction and adjusts document rotation without manual intervention. This feature is essential when scanning large volumes of documents with varying orientations.
• Digital noise removal. ScanSpeeder removes unwanted artifacts and spots from scanned images. The filtering improves visual quality and increases text recognition accuracy. The algorithms process each image to remove dots, streaks, and other common defects found in scanned documents.
• Page straightening. The application corrects geometric distortions caused during the scanning process. The algorithms detect document edges and adjust perspective to produce perfectly rectangular pages. This function is particularly useful when pages were scanned with curvature or misalignment.
• Contrast and brightness enhancement. ScanSpeeder automatically adjusts image parameters to optimize text readability. The system modifies contrast, brightness, and gamma levels to ensure text is clear and sharp. These adjustments facilitate the OCR recognition process and improve the overall quality of the digital document.
• Document structure recognition. The software identifies and preserves the original structure of documents, including columns, tables, and headers. The algorithms analyze the visual layout of elements and maintain this organization in the final result. This capability is crucial for complex documents with multiple sections.
• Export to multiple formats. ScanSpeeder allows saving processed documents in various formats such as PDF, DOCX, TXT, and RTF. Each format offers different advantages for document storage and distribution. PDF export includes text searchability when using the OCR layer.
• Batch processing. The application can process multiple documents simultaneously without constant operator intervention. Users can configure mass processing jobs to digitize large document archives. This feature saves significant time when working with extensive document collections.
• Spell checking. ScanSpeeder includes spell checking tools for recognized texts. The system detects possible OCR errors and suggests corrections based on built-in dictionaries. This feature improves the final accuracy of digitized text.
• Document compression. The application reduces the size of resulting files without compromising readable quality. Compression algorithms optimize images and text to create manageable documents. This feature is valuable for long-term storage and transfer of digitized documents.
• Page separation. ScanSpeeder automatically detects and splits individual pages within scanned documents such as double-page spreads. The algorithm identifies the gap between pages and performs precise divisions. This capability is essential when scanning books or bound documents.
• Automatic language detection. The software identifies the language of text in scanned documents without prior configuration. This automatic detection optimizes OCR recognition accuracy by using the appropriate linguistic models. The feature supports a variety of common and specialized languages.

ScanSpeeder was developed by a team of specialists in image processing and pattern recognition. The project started in 2018 as a solution for digitizing historical archives and business documentation. The application is programmed primarily in C++ with critical components optimized in assembly for maximum performance. The OCR algorithms are based on convolutional neural networks trained on extensive datasets of varied documents.
