Prerequisites
Before you start working with Docs Scanner, check the following requirements:
- A camera or scanner is connected to the computer (if you are going to use one of these methods to get images of invoices).
- Required software:
- (for MacOS users only) TWAIN SANE Interface for MacOS X: System automatically detects if you have the necessary software installed and prompts to download the necessary components from the TWAIN SANE web-site here. For details, see How to install TWAIN SANE Interface for MacOS X.
- Dynamsoft Service Component: A component which is required to handle the communication between the hardware (scanner, webcam, etc.) and the browser. For details, see Installing the Dynamsoft Service Component.
When Docs Scanner is run for the first time, make sure you have Administrator rights to be able to install the necessary software on the computer. The Administrator rights are not required for the subsequent runs of the tool.
You can install the required software in advance; however, this step is not required. The first time you add an invoice in Docs Scanner, you will be offered to install the required software. CStoreOffice® will take you through a quick installation process.
