Canon CaptureOnTouch Software

Make Document Scanning Work for You

In a world piled high with paper, invoices, contracts, letters, archive boxes, having a reliable scanning solution can make all the difference. That is where CaptureOnTouch Pro from Canon comes in. This is a professional-grade scanning application designed for use with Canon’s imageFORMULA scanners, built to simplify, speed up and streamline document workflows. 

At its core, CaptureOnTouch Pro offers a clean, user-friendly, icon-based interface that makes scanning intuitive, even for those not tech savvy. You have access to two scanning methods: a standard three-step scan or a one-touch shortcut mode. The latter is ideal for repeated, routine tasks, just pick a preset combination (type of document, destination, format), press once and the scan begins. 

What sets CaptureOnTouch Pro apart is how much you can customise and automate once you install it. The software supports batch scanning and advanced batch separation methods. You can automatically split a stack of scanned documents into separate files or folders, using triggers such as blank pages, barcodes, patch codes, counters or even zonal OCR (optical character recognition). File naming and folder structure can also be driven by recognised data for example, you can use text extracted via OCR, dates, counters or barcodes to name files or build folders dynamically.

This automation saves time and reduces manual effort. For businesses or offices that handle large volumes of paperwork. Think invoices, forms, receipts or archival documents, CaptureOnTouch Pro can turn a once-cumbersome scanning task into a smooth, repeatable workflow. A review of version 5 praised how the software makes scan management simple while enabling powerful automatic naming and organisation.

Another strong advantage is its flexibility regarding output formats and destinations. CaptureOnTouch Pro allows you to save scans in many popular formats: PDF, PDF/A, TIFF, JPEG, PNG, BMP and more. Thanks to its built-in OCR functionality you can even produce searchable and editable PDFs, or convert scanned documents into editable Office formats. And once scanned, documents can be sent to email, saved locally, or uploaded directly to cloud storage services, a handy way to give your digital archives mobility and accessibility. 

For organisations or teams, there are configuration tools built in that allow administrators to manage settings across users or machines. You can restrict which scanning jobs or destinations are available, lock configurations with passwords, or enforce consistent workflows across computers, features that help maintain control in office environments. 

Even for smaller offices or personal use, CaptureOnTouch Pro strikes a good balance between simplicity and power: minimal setup, intuitive interface, yet strong enough to handle serious batch scanning, OCR and file organisation tasks.

CaptureOnTouch Pro transforms the way you digitise paper. It handles not only the simple act of scanning but also the often tedious work of naming, sorting, storing and sharing documents. Whether you are managing receipts at home, archiving business documents, or organising a large volume of paperwork in an office environment, this software is a solid ally.
