The free & easy way to max out your Doxie scanner and to OCR/stich any image file or PDF from any source with your Doxie software.
Deutsche Anleitung mit technischen Infos
Please note: The Doxiemizer script is 5 years old, but I am still using it with my Doxie Go every week. Maybe others will find Doxiemizer useful too. The Doxie software is very easy to use and the OCR is done with the included Abbyy FineReader software.
Fixed a bug that prevented Doximizer from working under Catalina and above! Tested with Monterey.
The Doxie is great as long as the documents fit in the scanner. But how can you scan a document that is too large or too thick or has any glued or stapled objects on it? You simply can’t.
Doxiemizer allows you to combine documents from different sources in one Doxie document and save them as one OCR'ed PDF or stitched image.
Take a photo of the document with your camera or mobile phone and use Doxiemizer to prepare the image files for import. If the document wont’t fit on one photo, just take two or more photos, choose Prepare for Stitching, stitch them together and choose Send to Prepare for OCR.
Doxiemizer is a free add-on to your Doxie software to enable additional features and to speed up the work with your scanner.
- OCR documents with your Doxie Flip

If you own an IRIScan Anywhere and a Doxie, Doxiemizer helps you to use the Doxie software with documents scanned on your IRIS scanner; you don’t have to rescan the files any more.
When you plug in your IRIS scanner or IRIS SD card or IRIS USB stick Doxiemizer automatically prepares a copy of the IRIS files and starts the Doxie software, just like the files were scanned by your Doxie.
No. Doxiemizer does not change one bit of the Doxie software.
No. Doxiemizer always works with copies of your files.
The Doxiemizer volume is a RAM disc that holds the copy of your files. As the volume is only needed for the import it is unmounted directly after the Doxie software has finished importing the files.
The Prepare for OCR feature supports jpg, gif, png, tiff, pict, bmp and PDF files. The Prepare for Stitching feature supports jpg, gif, png, tiff, pict and bmp files. If the original file is not a JPG the file will be converted to JPG automatically.
The maximum file size for OCR is 5100 x 9000 pixels and for stitching 2400 x 3600 pixels. Larger files will be scaled down and padded automatically, the original aspect ration is preserved.
