Nuance and YouSendIt Team to Give PaperPort Users a Free, Secure and Easy Way to Share Large Files via the Web

Nuance Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAN), a leading provider of speech and imaging solutions, today announced the PaperPort® Link for YouSendIt, providing all PaperPort users with a seamless way to securely deliver important files via the Web. By connecting PaperPort to YouSendIt, Inc., Nuance enables users to overcome attachment size limits on email, and provides users with a more private way to send content to customers, colleagues, friends and family. The collaboration of the companies to connect the YouSendIt service to PaperPort, the world’s best-selling scanning and document management application for Microsoft Windows, makes it as easy as "drag and drop” to send scanned documents, PDF files, business presentations, and even audio and video content using YouSendIt. Additionally, customers have free use of the service for files and documents that are as large as 100MB, and can enhance the service to 2GB files for as little as $4.99 a month. "The YouSendIt service is as invaluable as it is elegant in its speed and simplicity, and an ideal companion to the scanning and document workflow capabilities delivered by PaperPort,” said Robert Weideman, general manager and senior vice president for Nuance Productivity Applications. "Since scanned documents often exceed email size limitations, users now have a seamless onramp that allows them to securely share those documents worldwide using Web standards.” Tens of thousands of companies have incorporated YouSendIt as a mission-critical platform that offers a trusted, convenient service for their entire organization. To securely send files users simply upload their files, enter the recipient email addresses and "Send It”. The recipients receive a notification email with a link to download the files. The link enables identified recipients to download the file immediately, bypassing email servers and their associated attachment size, privacy and connectivity limitations. By sending files with the PaperPort Link for YouSendIt, users can overcome the size restrictions of traditional email, and the time and complication of FTP. The link allows customers to send multiple files to multiple email addresses and add comments prior to sending. The PaperPort® ScanDirect™ feature allows users to leverage One-Button Scanning to send documents directly to YouSendIt, delivering scan-to-Web sharing with the press of a button. "As the de-facto standard scanning and document management application for Microsoft Windows, PaperPort promises to be a significant platform for moving document content through the YouSendIt service,” said Ranjith Kumaran, Founder, YouSendIt. "Even more exciting is the integration of ‘One-Button Scanning with YouSendIt,’ making it as easy as pressing a button to securely send and track large documents to anyone in the world.” The new PaperPort YouSendIt Link allows customers to easily send files by simply dragging them to the YouSendIt Link on the PaperPort Send-To Bar. PaperPort provides immediate visual feedback using document thumbnails of what and where files are located. There is no need to individually add files using a Web interface, remember file locations, or browse down through folder directories. Delivering files is reduced to a simple drag-and-drop operation and files are quickly queued up for immediate transfer over the YouSendIt network. PaperPort is used by millions of people every day to scan, search and organize documents and photographs on a personal PC or across a network. Despite the worldwide growth of scan-enabled devices, many home PC users and business professionals have traditionally held the opinion that scanning and document management software is complex and expensive. With the availability of PaperPort 11 in even more languages, and linked to more applications such as YouSendIt, Nuance proves that people worldwide can benefit from scanning and document management through a product that is easy to use.
