Capture

Building your document management system and converting paper-based documents to electronic documents begins the capture process. To be effective, document management systems must allow for simple, high-quality capture of paper documents and converting them to electronic images.

What Does Capture Do?

When a paper-based document is captured electronically the result can be as simple as an image that can be emailed, faxed or stored. In addition, this document can be converted to a text document using OCR (optical character recognition), added to a document management database with automatic indexing of search fields, or can even automatically apply data to accounting systems.

Automated Document Indexing

Utilizing OCR technology or 1D and 2D barcodes, a document that is to be added to an electronic document management database can be automatically indexed. This technology allows for documents to be immediately and readily available for search and retrieval across a network.
Document capture is the foundational technology for workflow automation. When scanning is complete, the extracted data is immediately available to trigger automated workflows to streamline business processes.

Automated Application Data Entry

Whether you documents are structured (the same format every time, such as survey forms), semi-structured (similar format every time, such as vendor invoices), or unstructured (the format is different every time, as in correspondence from customers), data entry can be automated to streamline your processes. Extracted data can be automatically transferred to business applications such as accounting and inventory systems or CRM (customer relationship management) systems.

SimpleCapture Pro

“Don’t Type Your Data, Click-It”

SimpleCapture Pro is a click-entry capture product with guided operation, making it the easiest and most reliable capture solution on the market.  The Pro version of the SimpleCapture Platform allows capturing data from any typographic documents an organization faces.  SimpleCapture Pro is a middle-ground solution that eliminates the pains of hand-key entry and avoids the problems of fully automated capture.  Targeted to data entry departments and service bureaus, SimpleCapture Pro offers immediately measurable and guaranteed ROI and, because of its full-visibility interface, it eliminates false positives once and for all.

Click-entry is the process of using a mouse cursor to left-click text on a scanned image versus using a keyboard to type the data. The SimpleCapture Platform takes this capture strategy and wraps it in a useful interface that accepts images from many sources and contains all the click-entry processes and settings to streamline processing.
With the time-saving benefits of click-entry and the processes of the SimpleCapture Platform, SimpleCapture Pro users (anyone manually entering documents) will enjoy faster ROI and very accurate data capture with tight process control.

Key Features of SimpleCapture Pro

  • Click-entry of any typographic documents: While other companies use zonal optical character recognition (OCR) where users must “rubber band” items to select sections to be captured, Artsyl offers industry-unique click-entry that utilizes the cursor to select and extract an image in one step.
  • Guided operation: With SimpleCapture Pro’s guided operation, the cursor automatically takes you to the next field you want to capture.  It essentially guides you through the capture process based on your profile. 
  • Assisted search values: Gives you everything you need to find your information (for example, automatic highlighting of all phone numbers to quickly draw your attention to those areas) and to click on your information faster.
  • Dynamic loading and unloading of document type definitions: With SimpleCapture Pro, there’s no need to presort documents.  You can bunch different types of documents (such as bills of lading with invoices) without any presorting to delay the process.
  • Input from any image source: SimpleCapture Pro can take images from any source, including a scanner or other applications.   
  • Click-entry of tables: Click-entry of tables allows you to drag down a column and automatically populate a table, row by row, with just a single click per column.
  • Document assembly: Designed for organizations that scan large numbers of documents with multiple pages, SimpleCapture Pro’s document assembly feature makes this task easy.  Previously, you would need to scan document pages one by one or use separator pages during scanning.  SimpleCapture Pro facilitates quick assembly of multi-page documents and provides an indicator (in the form of a plus sign that can be expanded to show all pages in the document).  It also allows you to re-assemble multi-page documents by simply dragging necessary pages to the desired position in the document.
  • ODBC, SQL, and Access export: SimpleCapture Pro provides a user-friendly UI to set up automatic saving of extracted data directly to SQL Server and Microsoft Access and allows you to select any other database destination with the use of ODBC and OLE DB.
  • Customizable naming of export files: With SimpleCapture Pro, you don’t have to settle for export files named by the system, but rather you can customize them in accordance with your organization’s nomenclature for easier retrieval and the capability to use intelligent search (by vendor, for example).
  • SimpleCapture Pro is sold as a per seat license with zero page counts.
