Visioneer, Inc., a leader in intelligent imaging solutions, recently announced the Patriot RoadWarrior, a powerful and easy-to-use GSA/TAA-compliant mobile scanner for government agencies. The Patriot RoadWarrior, priced at only $249.99, is designed to handle the document imaging needs for a broad range of government applications. The Patriot RoadWarrior includes software that enables scanned documents and receipts to be easily organized, shared and searched. The new scanner complements Visioneer's complete Patriot product line that spans the workgroup to production segments for U.S. Government agencies and private sector users who require trade compliant products that are fast, cost-effective and easy-to-use. Utilizing Visioneer's patented AutoLaunch™ technology, scanning begins by simply inserting the document into the Patriot RoadWarrior scanner. The document is delivered to nearly any application, folder or device through seamless integration with Visioneer OneTouch.

"The Patriot RoadWarrior is the lowest price mobile scanner to include a full software suite that can create text searchable PDF files and our customers in the armed forces find this feature extremely useful," said Bill Kouzi, Senior Vice President of Sales and Service at Visioneer.

Visioneer Patriot RoadWarrior - The Solution for a Paperless Road
The combination of size, mobility and software allow the Visioneer RoadWarrior to be the perfect traveling companion for users who need to scan many different documents in many different locations. Based on Visioneer's award-winning Strobe design, the Patriot RoadWarrior is a fast, mobile scanner that measures only 2" x 1.5" x 11.4" and weighs a mere 10 ounces. It has a resolution of 600 x 1200 dpi with 36-bit color and users can scan regardless of location because it is powered through the USB port. It also incorporates Visioneer's patented AutoLaunch technology that automatically begins the scanning process when a document is inserted into the scanner.

The Patriot RoadWarrior is designed to automatically convert, at the user's option, any scanned item into a text-searchable Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) file (the government's preferred file format) while maintaining the visual integrity of the original document.
