Ho ho ho. Marketeers indeed.

I assumed that this meant that KEYVIEW extracts the text in a fax into a
document format, implying the necessity of OCR to get from DCX or TIFF
(dumb pixels) to text.

Nope. But neither would I be surprised if the two-stage process results in
degradation of overall format complexity, or added "noise". On the other hand,
maybe it will work just fine. How much does KEYVIEW cost?
