Innovative Card Scanning® Announces Release Of ScanSharp ActiveX Solution

Allen, Texas - March 3, 2009 - Innovative Card Scanning (ICS), the leading developer and provider of insurance card and ID scanning solutions tailored for physician offices, hospitals, medical billers, pharmacies and retail clinics, today announced the release of its ScanSharp ActiveX solution. The solution will allow non .NET or Web-based clients to quickly take advantage of the Express Optical Character Recognition (OCR) Software Development Kit (SDK) and enable their Practice Management (PM) systems to integrate seamlessly with scanning and OCR technology.

"The new ScanSharp ActiveX solution contains the Express ActiveX COM library, which non .NET developers can reference in order to utilize the Innovative Card Scanning Application Program Interface (API)," says Stephen Moulton, Innovative Card Scanning director of product development. "The ScanSharp ActiveX solution contains the Express ActiveX control that Web developers can embed into their Web pages to utilize Innovative Card Scanning's Express OCR SDK. Client workstations or kiosks will simply install the Express Service Application for the integrated product to work."

The Express Service Application provides users with the following:
. Automatically works with any existing TWAIN-compliant scanners
. Saves images into popular file formats, including JPEG, PDF and TIF
. Easily uploads scanned images to FTP sites
. Integrates auto-printing capabilities
. Contains additional support for automatic parsing of driver licenses via a magnetic strip reader

Kevin McCasland, Innovative Card Scanning director of business development adds, "For developers the true benefit of integrating the new ScanSharp ActiveX application is that it provides end users a similar control environment on a Web page application that users are used to on a Windows-based application."

The application was recently integrated with KSB Dental, a PM software provider for family-focused dental offices. KSB Dental Programmer Lon Weekly said his company began working with Innovative Card Scanning in May 2007, implementing Innovative Card Scanning's DocketPORTT scanners at practices across the country. As Innovative Card Scanning has continued to develop software updates to align with changing technology, KSB Dental wanted to ensure the continued usability of the scanners.

"Innovative Card Scanning was wonderful at working with us to integrate the new ScanSharp ActiveX application and ensuring that everything was up and running smoothly," says Weekly. "The practices within our network still have the same functionality with their DocketPORT scanners, only now with up-to-date software and the new ScanSharp Active X Application everyone can be on the same scanning system as they were before the software update. The end users do not even know the difference, but it allows for easier coordination on the programming side."
