VRS Stands for Virtual ReScan. This is a software that allows one to scan a document andadjust the image quality "on the fly" by using a slide bar to render the image exactly what one would like to save, without having to change the settings then rescan the document with the new settings.

VRS has many more features, but that is the principle of VRS. The other features are designed to enhance the scanning experience by the user. Features such as auto cropping, blank page detaction, auto color detection, bar code scanning and others make scanning in batches that much easier.

Why Kofax VRS? In the dark ages (1993-2003) most scanners came with basic software that only generated an crude image. Users had to have another software to process and clean up the images and make it legible for others to read. In those days, you scanned at one station, and image processed at another station before you stored the image. Kofax came along and created software that interacted directly with the scanner and created the finished images "on the fly". Today the software has many features needed by people whom scan a lot of documents every day.

Most of today's scanning and image cleanup can be handled by the software provided by the scanner manufacturers however, if you have images that are constantly in poor condition or a great deal of images to process then VRS Elite is designed to meet those needs.
