XIF (eXtended Image Format) file originally created for the ScanSoft Pagis scanning software; designed as an extension to the .TIFF format for storing text documents as images; separates the image into four layers: Text layer for optical character recognition (OCR) Layer for text colors Color image segments layer Background tint layer NOTE: ScanSoft is now Nuance Communications. The XIF file format is still supported by some Nuance applications.
The XIF file extension is related to some LonMark products and used for files that contain device interface data. LonMark staff and members are often asked to take part in conferences, organizations, and meetings to present who and what LonMark is. We strive to be the main source of accurate, up-to-date information on open, integrated LON systems.
