iNSIGHT 30

The iNSIGHT™ 30 from Scantron is an industry exclusive: a desktop model scanner combining high-quality, high-speed, full-color Document Imaging technology with the proven Data Collection capabilities and accuracy of Optical Mark Recognition (OMR). In developing this innovative technology, Scantron has applied over 50 years of engineering, forms design, applications development and customer support experience to ensure our customer's success.

Whenever you need the speed and accuracy of OMR along with the productivity and flexibility of Document Imaging, the iNSIGHT 30 is the right solution for you. The advanced technology offers genuine versatility at a lower cost of ownership than owning separate hardware. Due to its unique blend of capabilities, the iNSIGHT 30 is well positioned to address demanding applications such as testing, surveys, attendance, grading, student portfolios, personnel records, archival, and general back file conversions.

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 30 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 3600 sheet per hour.

The iNSIGHT 30 scanner can read written marks (such as bubbles, check marks, tick marks) and bar codes. It can also scan grayscale images for digital storage and, with the addition of NestorReader software (available separately), it can read machine print and handprint using RealTime Character Recognition.

Accuracy You Have Come To Expect

Data Collection Features

  • Includes Scantools Plus and ScanFlex data collection software, assuring accurate resolution, recognition, data formatting and the flexibility to scan forms you may have printed locally on plain paper
  • Integrates sixteen level mark discrimination technology to ensure correct data capture results
  • Provides 8-bit, 256 grayscale levels and 200 dpi images
  • Allows you to capture, name and archive image clips (TIFF, JPEG)
  • Software recognizes bar codes
  • Processes machine and hand print data with the optional RealTime Character Recognition utilizing NestorReader software

Document Imaging

Document Imaging is the process of scanning paper documents and 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 30 perfect for your scanning needs.

It can effortlessly handle everything from small card stock to long print-outs and, in a single batch, transport sheets of multiple sizes and thickness. 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.
