DocuScan Plus is a streamlined document scanner that enables you to scan, edit, save and email books, magazines, documents and any other printed document that you might need in the digital format. Gone are the days when you have to call on a friend or family member to read your mail and other hard copy. DocuScan Plus makes it easy to scan, read, save, and email printed material and PDF documents, and because our product resides in the cloud, it is the only assistive technology product of its kind that makes these documents available to you wherever you may need them. Talk about dramatically improving your experience with the printed word! When you run DocuScan Plus for Mac for the first time, you will be prompted to log into your Serotek account. You won't be able to create an account or purchase DocuScan Plus from within the software, due to Apple's Mac App Store policies. Instead, you'll need to follow the instructions below, depending on whether you have a Serotek account and on whether you want to try the software or buy it.

DocuScan Plus is the most versatile compatible OCR package of its kind. It is the first fully accessible, Internet-based scanning and reading software for the blind and visually impaired that works with both Windows and the Mac. Using a variety of popular scanners or a HoverCam document camera in conjunction with DocuScan Plus, you can convert printed materials and PDF files into text and access your converted documents at a public library, in your office, or on your commute with a mobile device. Connect with one of our helpful customer service representatives to learn more.

With DocuScan Plus you won't need an expensive screen reader to use the application. On Windows, DocuScan Plus provides its own speech output and magnification; on the Mac, it works seamlessly with VoiceOver and Zoom.
