@1ST PAR PAL = S<B>anta Clara, CA<D> <197> Calera Recognition Systems,
formerly Palantir Corporation, announced <BI>TrueScan<D>, a scanner
recognition card for PC/AT's and compatibles that provides the most
accurate recognition available for desk-top publications. Starting
at just $2495, TrueScan sets a new price- performance standard for
the personal computer and scanner markets.
@ARTICLE PAL =
@ARTICLE PAL = Referring to TrueScan as essentially a <169>printer
in reverse,<170> Calera President Stephen M. Dow said, <169>Just like
a printer can take information from your PC and put it onto a page,
TrueScan can take information from a page and put it directly into
your PC. And it doesn't matter how complex your page is. The key is
that TrueScan goes beyond character recognition to capture the structure
of a page as well as text and graphics <197> automatically. TureScan
finally makes scannng as easy as using a photocopier.<170>
@ARTICLE PAL = TrueScan brings the high-performance recognition capabilites
previously associated only with products costing over $15,000 to desktop
publishing <197> at desktop prices. This break-through is expected
to fuel the growth of the scanner market by opening up new opportunities
in existing application areas like desktop publishing and word processing,
and developing areas such as spreadsheets and databases.
@ARTICLE PAL = TrueScan works with most <%14>desktop scanners and
<%4>facsimile cards to provide ac<%0>curate recognition at an affordable
price. It puts complex business documents directly into popular applications
like word processing, desktop publishing, spreadsheet and graphics
programs, and can also be used to create files for loading information
into a database. With other technologies, scanners are focused primarily
on just recognizing text. TrueScan also decolumnizes complex multi-column
documents while recognizing and preserving tables, lists, paragraphs,
centering, justification, indenting, bold, italics and underlining.
@ARTICLE PAL =
@ARTICLE PAL = Text and graphics are captured in a single pass through
the scanner. TrueScan handles typewritten, typeset, laser, dot matrix
and other computer printed documents. Scanned documents are placed
directly into the formats supported by popular word processors, desktop
publishing systems, spreadsheets, and databases.
@ARTICLE PAL =
@ARTICLE PAL = TrueScan comes in two models. The Model S processes
pages at 75 characters per second and the Model E, 100 characters
per second. A wide <%12>range of scanners are <%0>supported by both
models, including: AST TurboScan, Canon IX-12, IX-12F, Datacopy
Jet Reader Model 730, Dest PC Scan Plus, Dest PC Scan 1000, Dest PC
Scan 2000, HP ScanJet, IBM 3117, Microtek MS/MSF-300C, MS-300A, Panasonic
FX-RS505, and Princeton Graphics LS-300.

@ARTICLE PAL = Supported Facsimile cards include: GammaLink Gammafax,
Spectrafax, The FaxCard, Datacopy MicroFax, AT&T Fax Connection, and
other cards which support the TIFF and PCX image file formats.
@ARTICLE PAL = Virtually every commercial word processing program
is directly supported. It also supports the Lotus (.WK1) format which
is used by Lotus 1-2-3, Borland's Quattro, and Excel.
@ARTICLE PAL =

compatibles and MS-DOS 3.1 or higher. A minimum of 512 Kb of RAM is
required and the minimum acceptable hard disk size is 20 Mb. Both
