Nothing to install on a managed device

TapScanner runs in the browser, so document work does not need a software request, a lab image, or an admin visit. Every tool shows its file, page, and plan limits before a job starts rather than after one fails in front of a class.

Anyone can start today on the free plan — the first eligible task finishes without an account. Institutional terms are scoped and quoted; nothing is switched on before it is agreed in writing.

The document work a term actually produces

These are the jobs the toolkit already covers, with the tool that does each one.

  • Course packs from many sources

    Chapters, slides and worksheets arrive as separate files and have to become one document in the right order before a class can use them.

    Merge PDF

  • Scanned handouts nobody can search

    A photocopied reading is an image until it has a text layer. OCR makes it searchable and selectable without changing how the page looks.

    OCR PDF

  • Files too large for a submission portal

    Portals and mail systems cap attachments well below what a scanner produces. Compression brings a document under the limit before the deadline, not after it.

    Compress PDF

  • Returning marked work

    Annotate the script, then flatten it so the comments travel with the page and cannot be moved by whoever opens it next.

    Annotate PDF

  • Sharing an extract, not the whole book

    Pulling out the pages a seminar needs keeps the file small and keeps the rest of the document out of circulation.

    Extract PDF Pages

  • Archiving so it still opens in ten years

    PDF/A embeds fonts and removes external dependencies, which is what a repository or records office normally requires.

What procurement will ask, and where the answers are

TapScanner publishes what it can currently evidence about file lifecycle, processing location, the analytics boundary, and delete-now availability — including where evidence is still outstanding. Send the questionnaire and we answer it against that, not around it.
