4. You may toggle the automatic conversion of images from new faxes.Â
5. You can convert existing faxes to searchable text.
6. It’s also possible to create custom fields for names, dates, and other information.
Note that automatic conversion from fax images to searchable text comes at an additional cost. Similarly, activating OCR for existing fax images comes with a one-time fee.
