IrisScans

IRIScan refers to a line of portable scanners produced by I.R.I.S., a company known for its optical character recognition (OCR) and imaging software. The IRIScan product family is designed to provide quick digitization of documents, pages from books, receipts, business cards, and other printed materials. The range includes handheld and compact desktop scanners, as well as book-scanner formats, aimed at individuals, students, and professionals who need on-the-go or space-saving scanning solutions.

Notable models in the IRIScan line include devices such as IRIScan Express, IRIScan Pro, IRIScan Book, and IRIScan Anywhere. These devices are typically lightweight and battery-powered or USB-connected, offering various ways to capture images and text without a traditional flatbed scanner. Many IRIScan devices emphasize portability and ease of use, enabling users to scan documents quickly and store or transfer files to a computer or mobile device.

Key features commonly associated with IRIScan devices include built-in OCR to convert scanned images into editable and searchable text, support for common file formats such as PDF, JPEG, and TIFF, and options to export to productivity software or cloud services via bundled software. Some models also provide wireless connectivity (Wi-Fi or Bluetooth) and companion apps for iOS and Android, enabling direct transfer to smartphones or tablets. The software ecosystem often includes tools for document management, business-card capture, and image enhancement.

Availability and support for IRIScan products vary by region and model, with older devices receiving limited updates over time. The line remains a reference point for compact, portable digitization solutions.
