iNSIGHT 20 Document Scanner

The Next Step in the Evolution

The iNSIGHT™ 20 from Scantron is a compact, affordable desktop model scanner that combines document imaging technology along with the proven data collection capabilities and accuracy of optical mark recognition (OMR).

The iNSIGHT 20 is an industry exclusive scanner. Scantron applied over fifty years of engineering, forms design, applications development and customer support experience to ensure our customers' success. Whenever you need a reasonably priced and compact scanner that has the accuracy of OMR and the productivity and flexibility of Document Imaging, the iNSIGHT 20 is the right solution for you.

Meeting Your Document Imaging and OMR Needs

Due to its unique blend of capabilities, the iNSIGHT 20 is well priced and perfectly positioned to address applications such as testing, surveys attendance, grading, student portfolios, personnel records, archival, and general back file conversions. Depending on your requirements and budget, Scantron can meet the needs of your application. For higher-volume processing needs, Scantron also offers the iNSIGHT 30, which also combines full document imaging with the accuracy of OMR.

Data Collection

Data Collection is the process of reading marks from a printed form (e.g. tests, surveys, ballots, etc.) and converting it to ASCII data. The iNSIGHT 20 accurately scans the form for data while our ScanTools Plus™ software controls the scanning process and stores the data that is read. The scanner and software work together reading up to 1,800 sheets per hour.

The iNSIGHT 20 scanner can read written marks (such as bubbles, check marks, tick marks) and bar codes. The scanner, working with ScanTools Plus software, can also scan grayscale images for digital storage. In addition, the iNSIGHT 20 can read machine print and handprint using RealTime Character Recognition software (available separately).

Document Imaging

Document imaging is the process of scanning paper documents, converting them to digital images. We know that the documents you work with aren't always the perfect size, shape or quality for scanning; that is what makes the iNSIGHT 20 perfect for your scanning needs.

This scanner can effortlessly handle sheets of multiple sizes and thickness in a single batch; from small card stock to long print-outs. After scanning, with one-click you can select the format of the scanned image, the resolution, the file type, and the destination of the resulting file using the Click&Scan software.

In document imaging mode, the iNSIGHT 20 scanner with Click&Scan software, can scan up to 1,800 two-sided black&white, grayscale and color images at 200 dots-per-inch (dpi) per hour.
