Introducing ReadySuite, Part 2 – Endorsing (cont.)

Last week, we introduced the new endorsing functionality in Part 1 of our Introduction to ReadySuite. We’ve already highlighted the different endorsement areas, font settings, custom messages and spell checking. Next, we’re going to continue where we left off and go over a few more endorsement features.

Have you ever endorsed a set of images only to realize after the fact your settings don’t seem quite right? You may not have added the legend stamp in the right location or the formatting isn’t what the client is expecting. Whatever the issue might be, you’ll be able to preview your settings before you start the endorsement process.

Endorse Preview

Shown above, we’ve added “DRAFT” to the center of the image in red. Using the preview window, we’re able to see how this would be applied to the image. You can preview any page or document using the provided navigation controls. Additionally, you can zoom in or out on parts of the image.

As illustrated in the preview window, endorsements can be angled. We provide options for horizontal, vertical, clockwise and counter-clockwise orientations. Each endorsements orientation is unique to its quadrant, allowing for different variations.

Endorse Orientation

Other functionality included will allow you to apply endorsements to the first page of each document, or only even pages or odd pages. You’ll also be able to apply the endorsements to only portrait or landscape pages. These options are shown below.

In part 3 of our series, we’ll be discussing the batch redacting and cropping options. In addition, if you’re interested in joining our test team, contact Justin Blessing and provide a little background on your firm and your computer environment.

Introducing ReadySuite, Part 1 – Endorsing

Many users of our ReadyConvert and ReadyPrint products have asked for new ways to work with their existing image sets. We’ve built an incredible base product handling multiple image formats and load files. Now, we are extending that functionality to include features that will allow the user to endorse, redact, recognize (OCR), renumber, and create new image sets. Over the next several weeks, we will be highlighting these changes in a multi-part series to our development blog.

We’ll kick start the series by introducing the new endorsing options. With documents imported from load files or folders, you’ll now be allowed to apply a wide array of endorsements to those images. Endorsements can vary by font, size, orientation and color. You may apply bates numbers, page numbers, metadata fields and any custom text you can think of.

Endorse Wizard

We give you nine quadrants to choose from when adding endorsements. You may use one or all of these areas during a unique session. Each quadrant allows you to specify the font, color, alignment and orientation of the endorsement. For consistency, you may synchronize the settings among all the quadrants.

Endorse Options 3

As you can see above, you can use different font settings in each quadrant. Additionally, you can use the grid to select different quadrants. The active quadrant is displayed in blue, gray indicates an endorsement exists and white indicates nothing will be applied to that area.

With a built-in spell checker, we will check behind you as you type. Don’t worry about those annoying typos, because you can see those misspelled words underlined with the familiar red ’squiggly’ line.

Endorse Spell Check

We’ll be discussing more of the endorsing options in our next blog post. Additionally, we are looking for a few users who would like to be a part of our test team and provide us with feedback on our progress.
