Hand held scanners |
The
undisputed first choice in hand held scanners for title
professionals and courthouse researchers is the Hewlett Packard Capshare. Unfortunately, HP stopped producing this model
in 2000. But you can still occasionally find them online. We found
ours on
eBay. If you find one - grab it quick. We paid
$700 for our first one and it paid for itself in less than two weeks.
So we bought another. Now we wouldn't be without one.

Scanning / Image Management |
|
For as little as $99, scanning
and image management
systems quickly pay for themselves in saved paper and ink
costs alone - plus- you won't spend hours searching for old paper files.
At $199
PaperPort Professional 11 by Nuance
is
probably the best choice to scan, organize and share
documents for most growing abstract businesses. But if
your budget is tight or your just starting out, you may want
to consider the home office version
for $99.

Online Fax Services |
|
Abstractors need to send and receive faxes
from wherever they are - even when there is no fax machine
available. Online fax services make this possible and save title
professionals a lot of
time and money in the process. eFax Plus
and
. RingCentral
are the leading fax services most often used by independent
abstractors we surveyed. Both companies offer free trials and local fax numbers. |
