@1ST PAR PAL = S<B>anta Clara, CA<D> <197> Calera Recognition Systems, 
formerly Palantir Corporation, announced <BI>TrueScan<D>, a scanner 
recognition card for PC/AT's and compatibles that provides the most 
accurate recognition available for desk-top publications. Starting 
at just $2495, TrueScan sets a new price- performance standard for 
the personal computer and scanner markets.

@ARTICLE PAL = Referring to TrueScan as essentially a <169>printer 
in reverse,<170> Calera President Stephen M. Dow said, <169>Just like 
a printer can take information from your PC and put it onto a page, 
TrueScan can take information from a page and put it directly into 
your PC. And it doesn't matter how complex your page is. The key is 
that TrueScan goes beyond character recognition to capture the structure 
of a page as well as text and graphics <197> automatically. TureScan 
finally makes scannng as easy as using a photocopier.<170>



@ARTICLE PAL = TrueScan brings the high-performance recognition capabilites 
previously associated only with products costing over $15,000 to desktop 
publishing <197> at desktop prices. This break-through is expected 
to fuel the growth of the scanner market by opening up new opportunities 
in existing application areas like desktop publishing and word processing, 
and developing areas such as spreadsheets and databases.



@ARTICLE PAL = TrueScan works with most <%14>desktop scanners and 
<%4>facsimile cards to provide ac<%0>curate recognition at an affordable 
price. It puts complex business documents directly into popular applications 
like word processing, desktop publishing, spreadsheet and graphics 
programs, and can also be used to create files for loading information 
into a database. With other technologies, scanners are focused primarily 
on just recognizing text. TrueScan also decolumnizes complex multi-column 
documents while recognizing and preserving tables, lists, paragraphs, 
centering, justification, indenting, bold, italics and underlining.

@ARTICLE PAL = Text and graphics are captured in a single pass through 
the scanner. TrueScan handles typewritten, typeset, laser, dot matrix 
and other computer printed documents. Scanned documents are placed 
directly into the formats supported by popular word processors, desktop 
publishing systems, spreadsheets, and databases.

@ARTICLE PAL = TrueScan comes in two models. The Model S processes 
pages at 75 characters per second and the Model E, 100 characters 
per second. A wide <%12>range of scanners are <%0>supported by both 
models,   including: AST TurboScan, Canon IX-12, IX-12F, Datacopy 
Jet Reader Model 730, Dest PC Scan Plus, Dest PC Scan 1000, Dest PC
