Document scanner 

Scan Station 1 has a document scanner that can scan print documents at about 20 pages/ minute into digital format. 

Multiple File Formats

Scan print books, etc., into PDF, JPEG, PNG and TIFF, rich text, PDF, searchable PDF, and MP3 text to audio.

Scan and output to AUDIO file
KIC can output to MP3 audio files for students who find it helpful to simultaneously read and listen to their study materials to optimize retention, or assist students who have trouble reading, but understand the spoken word well.

Searchable PDF
KIC can output to searchable PDF so you can search the file for key terms. 

Multiple Send Options

Scans can be sent directly to USB, email, or cloud.
