  • Publication number: 20160284341
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method allows text data extracted from a scanned document by OCR to be converted into speech data such that the size of the speech data is equal to or lower than a predetermined speech data size limit. The method includes obtaining a predetermined speech data size limit; determining whether or not converting the text data into speech data will produce speech data with a size greater than the speech data size limit; and converting the text data into speech data such that the size of the speech data is equal to or lower than the speech data size limit. The speech data, optionally with at least one of the scanned document image and the text data, is then transmitted to a particular location.

  • Publication number: 20160283176
    Abstract: An image forming system stores print jobs in a queue hosted by a user computer and includes a cache at an authentication server and/or an image forming device that stores address information, such as a hostname or IP address, of a user computer in association with a user ID. When a user wishes to print a document from the queue, information of print jobs in the queue is retrieved from the user computer so that the user can select print jobs to be printed. The cache allows a soft fail-over in the event of partial interruption of network communication.
