With a customizable interface, documents are validated and automatically routed to the right place. Available as a 1-year subscription in addition to perpetual licensing options.
Key Advantages
Why use Info Input? Here are the advantages....
Everywhere. Really.
Capture business-critical information via phone and mobile device app and get documents into your business application(s) quickly
Capture accuracy and streamlined workflow
Advanced indexing and expert extraction (OMR/ICR/OCR) using cloud engines for speed and precision
Fast, easy integration with business systems
Works with your existing infrastructure, features centralized, consistent job set-up regardless of platform
Browser-based platform for both production and distributed scanning environments
As a web-based capture solution, documents can immediately be scanned and shared within an organization. Info Input enables easy information capture from scanners, via an app on a mobile or smart device, and digital files (including email) from one application across your organization – on- and off-premise.
Your users can:
- Maintain productivity even with low bandwidth or no web connection
- Securely store documents locally for 24 hours with no loss of productivity
Users can access it from anywhere
Your remote and onsite users can assess Info Input from multiple platforms, many browsers, and multiple devices including TWAIN-compliant scanners, Android and iOS mobile devices, and MFPs.
- An intuitive user interface requires minimal training and reduces errors with one-button-easy scanning from your business applications.
- No multiple systems to learn and no time wasted swapping screens.
Reliable information, world-class support
Info Input Solution helps ensure that you capture valid, complete information on the first scan. It can determine document type for correct processing after scanning via classification or barcodes, validate scripts, and perform multiple database lookups to ensure flexibility for administrators to enforce business rules.
Capture and index intelligently and efficiently
Intelligent features such as advanced indexing and expert extraction get information into your business processes faster.
- Powerful image adjustment tools improve image quality by correcting skewed scans, adjusting contrast, and more.
- Users can set-up the Indexing process to automatically extract key data from documents (via bar code, OCR, ICR, or OMR), reducing processing time
- Drag and drop files into different batches
- Enables monitoring of batch status to check details and prevent duplication
The optional Advanced Form Designer module is available for indexing and index validation purposes. Data entry screens can now be designed to look like original documents so you can enter or validate index information right on the form itself instead of entering on an indexing grid. Useful when capturing many index fields or index data is located on multiple pages of a document such as order forms and health coverage applications.
Efficient to deploy and manage across your enterprise or organization
Info Input provides savings in set-up, maintenance, and software updates as there is no need for physical installations: everything is deployed centrally via the web browser. It offers consistent job setup and configuration with workflow/ output available regardless of what platform or device is used. It is easy to set-up using your existing infrastructure and can connect to Enterprise Content Management, Enterprise Resource Planning, Business Process Management, and workflow solutions.
- Exports to any ODBC-compatible database or a delimited ASCII file
- Drag and drop files into different batches
- Deploys new projects in minutes and quickly imports job setups from other current systems such as Kofax
Classification & Extraction
Info Input offers an optional Classification and Extraction module that can automatically assign Document Class and Form Type and perform document separation and index data extraction without having to sort documents or put in document separator sheets during document preparation.
- Optical mark recognition (OMR) indexing to accurately capture information from forms such as checkbox answers (like yes/no, married/single)
- Optical Character Recognition (OCR) for capturing machine-printed characters and Intelligent Character Recognition (ICR) for capture and translation of hand-printed and written characters such as on structured forms. Requires purchase of an additional OCR/ICR engine by the customer from Kodak Alaris (Nuance engine) or you can purchase a cloud engine from either Microsoft, Amazon, or Google.
- Advanced extraction for when data on structured form moves around and is not in the exact location every time. The data can be extracted on multiple pages of a document.
Grow and take on future needs
Any organization can benefit from the flexibility of future-proofing their capture solution and integration. Info Input grows with your capture needs—from a single department to complex, high-volume enterprise requirements.
- One server can support 1,000s of users, and process billions of pages
- Pushes system upgrades to 1,000s of users instantly
- Both SQL Server and Oracle Database support
- Supports Windows, Linux operating systems
