Importing

FlexiCapture is compatible with a wide range of scanning devices supporting TWAIN, ISIS and WIA scanning protocols.

The new version offers remote document capture which ideally suits the needs of enterprises with distributed locations or remote business processes that prefer scanning documents at the point of their entry and importing them directly into the application for further centralized processing.

Automatic Document Classification

FlexiCapture identifies the document type and assembles one- and multi-page documents out of the mix of pages using advanced ABBYY technologies, which allow automatic classification of documents with variable layouts of any complexity including:

Multi-page documents;
Documents with variable number of pages;
Documents containing multi-page tables;
Documents with image or text attachments.

Data Text Extraction

FlexiCapture accurately extracts data and text from the fields specific for each document type using ABBYY award-winning multi-language recognition technologies. It offers:

OCR for more than 180 languages including Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese;
ICR for hand-printed text for over 110 languages;
Checkmark recognition for a wide spectrum of checkboxes;
Barcode recognition for a variety of 1-d and 2-d barcodes.

Automated Validation Check

FlexiCapture provides a set of predefined validation rules to ensure data correctness. By applying these rules data can be automatically checked against a database, checked to satisfy the format, brought to a standard (normalized) and more. Any custom rule can be added using scripting language.

Verification

Verification is intended for manual check of the correctness of the recognized data and structure of documents as well as for manual data entry of some information, e.g. unrecognizable text.

To speed up and simplify the verification process, FlexiCapture offers several easy-to-use and effective verification modes. Verification is an optional step that can be skipped if it is not required, in which case data is automatically exported after recognition.

Export

Extracted data and document images can be exported to various destinations:

files;
external databases (via ODBC);
Microsoft SharePoint 2003/2007;
any business application, ERP or ECM/DMS system.

Documents can be also saved as searchable PDF/PDF-A files for archiving purposes.

Administration and Monitoring

For managing user’s rights and monitoring the performance of the system, FlexiCapture 9.0 offers a web-based Administration and Monitoring Console which enables 24/7 supervision from any location. Rights and roles may be assigned to users, status of batches and event logs may be viewed and reports can be generated.

Flexible Customization and Integration Tools

Scriptable Rules

Scriptable rules provide ability to apply any actions to document fields: apply validation rules, fill in with some data, normalize etc.

Scriptable Export

Scriptable Export provides ability to create custom export modules that deliver data and images directly to any external application: ECM, CRM, ERP etc.

Web Service API

FlexiСapture Web Service API provides SOAP access to FlexiCapture Processing Server from an external application. By using the API, FlexiCapture can be integrated into various business applications and workflows as an automated document classification and data capture service.

The Web Service API allows loading images from a folder into a pre-configured project and receiving the recognition results in advanced XML format.

What's New

ABBYY FlexiCapture 9.0 offers a powerful set of new, innovative features which dramatically enhance the efficiency of data and document capture processes. The new version is scalable and flexible enough to meet the processing needs of any company from small and midsize businesses to large enterprises and governmental organizations with ever-growing paper document flow.

Advanced server-based architecture

New version delivers a powerful, highly scalable Processing Server, which performs automatic distribution of processing tasks between CPUs, and dedicated user-attended stations to ensure high-volume documents processing. It automatically balances the workload between server cores to ensure the best processing performance. The system can be easily expanded by adding supplementary processing cores and/or stations.

Flexible workflow

FlexiCapture 9.0 workflow can be easily adjusted to the requirements of your specific business processes. Based on queues, it allows flexible distribution of the processing tasks between users ensuring highly productive document processing. A special Exceptions Queue is intended for questionable documents to be processed by a special operator.

Web Service API

FlexiCapture Web Service API provides SOAP access to FlexiCapture Processing Server from an external application allowing smooth integration with various business applications and workflows. By leveraging Web Service API, FlexiCapture can be used as an automated document classification and data capture service.

Remote document capture

Remote FlexiCapture 9.0 Scanning Station allows scanning and delivering documents directly to FlexiCapture via HTTP from any remote location. This significantly cuts costs spent on document delivery and storage. This new feature perfectly meets the needs of large enterprises with remote branches and business processes enabling capturing of documents at the point of their entry with further centralized processing.

New OCR languages

The new version supports OCR of Chinese (both traditional and simplified), Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese documents and allows fast and accurate processing and verification of documents in the total of 186 OCR languages. With FlexiCapture 9.0, you can also process multilingual documents with mixed ideographic and alphabetical languages (e.g. Chinese and English in one document).

By-document processing

By-document processing enables automated export of documents that do not require verification, by separating them from the rest of the batch.

Multi-level classification

An intelligent Multi-Level Classifier is introduced in FlexiCapture 9.0. It optimizes the identification of document types in batches with a variety of different documents. With the Classifier, it is possible to assign a Classification tree with unlimited number of logical levels (classes): to separate invoices from contracts, classify invoices by supplier, pick out invoices from a particular supplier by date, etc.

Multiple export destinations

FlexiCapture 9.0 supports document export with multiple destinations. This enables export of both data and document images with different export settings and formats to several destinations simultaneously.

Redaction

The redaction tool allows removing certain data fields from the image before the export, securing confidential or sensitive data. For each export destination, different sets of fields can be specified for redaction.

Web-based Administration and Monitoring Console

For managing users’ rights and monitoring the performance of the system, FlexiCapture 9.0 offers a web-based Administration and Monitoring Console which enables round-the-clock supervision from any location.

Alternative Layouts

With the enhanced FlexiLayout Studio tool, it is possible to create alternative layouts for one document type. All the alternative layouts share the common set of export blocks but have independent set of search elements with individual logic. This feature radically simplifies creation, adjustment and maintenance of FlexiLayouts for documents with extremely variable location of fields, such as invoices.

PDF forms creation and distribution

With FormDesigner 9.0 a user can create electronic PDF forms, distribute them and receive the completed forms via e-mail or HTTP combining paper-based forms processing with electronic form collection.
