The Advanced Capture module allows documents to be automatically indexed by extracting indexing values (that is, a Document Type identifier, the Document Date, and Keyword Values) directly from documents via optical character recognition (OCR) technology.
The Advanced Capture module consists of two distinct, but equally powerful, functionalities:
-
Advanced Capture. Advanced Capture automatically compares documents to pre-defined Advanced Capture forms, or templates, that define the areas of the document that are to be processed. Once a document is matched to a form, it is processed and the extracted indexing values are assigned to it.
Advanced Capture can be performed on the following types of documents:
-
Images
-
Uneditable PDFs (image-based or text-based).
-
-
Point and Shoot Indexing. Point and Shoot Indexing allows you to select an area of a document to be processed so a Document Date or Keyword Values can be extracted from that area.
Point and Shoot Indexing can be performed on image documents only.
Both Advanced Capture and Point and Shoot Indexing support Keyword data type recognition and Keyword Type masking.
Your Advanced Capture solution is able to identify and process machine-printed data via optical character recognition (OCR). If your solution is also licensed for ICR Support for Advanced Capture, your solution is also able to identify and process handwritten text via intelligent character recognition (ICR).
ICR is not supported for Point and Shoot Indexing.
Unlike other forms recognition products, Advanced Capture has no per-page or per-document restrictions or costs, and all Advanced Capture is performed within, and is seamlessly integrated into, OnBase 's Document Imaging interface – no external databases or additional hardware or software is required.
