Your Computer
To run InspiroScan, you'll need:
-
A Windows computer.
-
2GB RAM.
-
1440 × 900 display or better. What's my screen resolution?
-
20 GB free hard drive space.
-
Microsoft Excel 2003 or later.
Your Scanner
You'll also need a scanner. For best results, your scanner should:
-
Be able to save in TIFF format.
-
Be able to scan in monochrome / black and white (grayscale may also be compatible).
-
Be able to scan two-sided (duplex) for scanning double-sided forms.
-
Have an automatic sheet feeder so that you don't have to manually load each page.
-
Be TWAIN compliant.
This is only necessary if you want InspiroScan to control the scanner directly.
If you don't have a scanner yet, we currently recommend the Fujitsu fi-7160.
The InspiroScan Form Creator, a free online tool for creating anonymous survey forms, requires an internet connection.
