• Combined category: Driver license/ID/Business card: In this mode,
ScanShell scans a document assuming that the document is a either a driver
license or an ID card. If it is indeed a driver license or an ID card, the process
shows the license details (and exports the data). If the document is not a driver
license or an ID card, ScanShell switches automatically to business card mode
and attempts to process the scanned card as a business card. The progress of
this process can be followed in the status bar at the bottom of the screen,
which also indicates whether the card is being processed as a driver license or
a business card.
Clicking the OCR button will open an appropriate window according to the
document type detected; driver license details for scanned driver licenses and
business card details if the scanned document was a business card.
Note: This option is only available if the United State (auto detection) option is selected in
the 'State' field!

• Combined category: Driver license/ID/ card – Same as the above. idScan
attempts to recognize the document type automatically.
• Other categories: Select the category of the scanned document. If you scan
the same document type regularly, selecting the exact category could speed up
the process compared to using the combined category.
