A new app, developed by Xerox with conversion technology powered by the Zamzar Developer API, securely transforms hardcopy documents into audio files allowing commuters, multitaskers, and audio enthusiasts to listen on the go instead of reading. The Xerox Audio Document application is available on Xerox VersaLink® and Xerox AltaLink® multifunction printers.
What does the App do?
The new Audio Document application allows customers to scan hardcopy documents and securely convert them into audio files, letting you listen (yes listen!) to the contents of documents on the go, and therefore multitask more easily.
The app builds upon Xerox’s ConnectKey® technology which transforms the printer into a smart workplace assistant with dedicated apps and connectivity to the cloud.
These apps let users simplify complex workflows, giving office workers the power to translate, share, store and manage their documents straight from their printer or device. The apps make labor-intense, time-consuming efforts easier and offer new twists on traditional ways of working. Check out the Xerox app gallery for further details.
