EMC Captiva InputAccel

Trying to archive huge amount of hardcopy document?

Beside the basic scanning process to convert hardcopy to digital format to ease backup of information. InputAccel provides additional OCR, form validation, data extraction and export feature.

Validation - requires operator to validate the required fields and provide the correct inputs. Possible to integrate validation Dll file to communicate to the server, or validate via a txt file. For Example, the fields value can be auto-populated via a odbc connection and select by specifying the SQL query where clause. Operator can confirm the populated value with the image and perform a final verification. The setup is quite flexible as if the record is not found within the database, insertion will be perform else update of record.

Data extraction - Allow user to pre-defined the area which hold the required data. Ability to extract data from barcode.

Image Enhancement - Similar to photoshop tool which improve the quality of the image. IE is pretty impressive, its consist of a full suite of features to fine tune the scanned images. Tools such as remove border, skewing, noise removal. With such filters, the processed images would be in a good condition for OCR or export into pdf. Two main set of filters are categorized into black/white and color.

Export - documentum, commonly used databases, xml etc.
