This software is a cost-effective and user-friendly solution for scanning, OCR, and managing documents. Its barcode recognition, OCR, and database integration features help organize files automatically, making document imaging hassle-free. It has both desktop and unattended server processing modes.
SimpleIndex is not just limited to manual use - it can also run as an unattended server process to file documents from multiple network scanners and MFPs automatically. The latest version (7) of the software includes the fastest and most accurate OCR engine available, FineReader. This version can create searchable PDF image+hidden text files from scanned images, as well as convert images to MS Word, text, or HTML files. Additionally, SimpleIndex can convert Office documents and HTML files to PDF automatically.
One of the major features of SimpleIndex is its multi-engine voting barcode recognition. It also has signature capture, real-time processing, XML data export, multi-image display during the scan, and the ability to run multiple jobs simultaneously. The command-line interface and extensive and open database integration make SimpleIndex the easiest option to integrate batch scanning with your custom business application. Don't waste valuable time and resources on an SDK - just define the batch process in a SimpleIndex job file and launch it from your software.
SimpleIndex is capable of performing complex scanning, recognition, and file organization. It can even output the relevant data to your database and attach the images as binary objects or Base64 encoded text. The SimpleIndex Document Management Suite includes additional companion tools for barcode printing, document distribution with FTP or email, quality control review, and rescan. There are also export scripts for a variety of document management, EMR, and litigation support systems. These can work as standalone apps or in conjunction with SimpleIndex for a comprehensive workflow solution.
