But how exactly do these document verification devices work? Once the documents are scanned and read, they can then be transferred to a computer. By connecting to authentication software, the scanning results are displayed on your screen. You can use our software, for example, DESKO ID|Analyze® or our partners’ software. This means you are not bound to any software manufacturer. The software displays the scanned images and extracted data. Anomalies are identified depending on the software, supplemented and displayed instantly. This eliminates waiting times for your employees and for the document holder. After the security check, the analysis results and files are available for further processing and data transfer.
