SoftAmbulance Office Recovery

Sometimes accidents can happen, crashes and power failures, when they do, documents can be sometimes lost. SoftAmbulance Office Recovery is an application that provides a way to recover lost and unsaved documents, with the ability to scan a drive and find any files it can for users to restore.

A straightforward interface that is easy to operate, with a high degree of control for users

The application is not difficult to run, users simply select a drive to scan, then SoftAmbulance Office Recovery displays every document of every type it can find. The results are displayed in a single list that can be hard to navigate at first, with large icons that must be scrolled through slowly.
Users are provided with tools to make this process easier, the first is a preview window that allows users to display any recoverable file in full. The second feature is a series of advanced filters, they allow users to search for a file by name, size, format, date, author and even specific text. The filters prevent users having to scroll down a list of documents that could be several hundred files long.

Very few settings or options, especially on how the application performs

SoftAmbulance Office Recovery provides no real settings for how the scan operates, even the filters can only be adjusted after a scan is complete. The application does offer various display settings, to slightly change how the files and previews are displayed, but that is all. Whether SoftAmbulance Office Recovery can actually recover your file seems more like luck than anything else.
Since users are kept in the dark about how it operates with no options to configure or refine the scan, there is no way of telling if it can recovery a particularly important document that has been lost. Given the price of the program, which is far from cheap, users might end up purchasing an application that will not help them.

A useful and powerful application that can save users from a lot of extra work, yet lacks refinement

All in all, SoftAmbulance Office Recovery can be an exceptionally useful software, the ability to restore a host of documents that otherwise would be beyond access is immensely useful. However, the app operates more like a sword than a scalpel, making broad scans across an entire hard drive. If users only want to restore a specific document, there is no guarantee SoftAmbulance Office Recovery could. Both the price and the application are more suited to bulk work.
