Product description

It further extracts the documents’ relevant data using I.R.I.S.’s in-house recognition technologies: OCR for machine printed information, ICR for hand-printed data, OMR for marks in check boxes, BCR for barcodes. I.R.I.S.’s ICR Voting™ technology is used to provide the best possible ICR results. The recognized data is carefully verified, validated and controlled – automatically and interactively - via a series of operating modules before it can be exported in any standard format. The original paper-based data is quickly and safely converted into digital information that can be directly used in any other content management applications, such as I.R.I.S.’s Electronic Document Management applications: I.R.I.S. DocCenter, I.R.I.S. Archea.

Thanks to several newly developed technologies and I.R.I.S. FlexForm™, version 5 of Formiris Pro is able to efficiently process an even wider variety of forms and documents, including flexible forms. Documents with variations in layout, data font, languages and graphical elements can now be automatically processed as a whole in the system.

IRISCapture Pro for Forms is fully integrated with the dual-stream high-speed acquisition software KODAK Capture Software via I.R.I.S. FastLink™. The images are scanned in color/greyscale and black&white, and can be validated, archived and exported in color. The application also takes full advantage of multistation high-speed scanning and advanced preprocessing features.

IRISCapture Pro for Forms reduces data entry costs by up to 90 % or more, depending on the type of data to be read. It offers a highly scalable processing capacity, allowing the reading of several hundred thousands documents per day. Formiris Pro meets unprecedented productivity rates.

Features

Full color document processing and dual-stream architecture New!
With IRISCapture Pro for Forms, you can keep and archive the color image of each document (the documents can be scanned in color or dual stream). This gradually becomes a must in many industry applications. All of Formiris Pro’s modules (Identification, Recognition, Correction, Validation and Export) support color and dual stream documents.

In-house award-winning technologies Improved
You benefit from a wide palette of I.R.I.S.’s in-house award-winning recognition technologies that offer an unmatched combination of speed and accuracy (OCR, ICR, BCR, OMR). The I.R.I.S. ICR Voting™ technology provides unprecedented ICR accuracy. Several other newly developed technologies such as I.R.I.S. FlexForm™ and I.R.I.S. FastLink™ offer to process a wider variety of documents while still reducing the processing time.

Automatic processing of Flexible Forms New!
Documents with variations in layout, data font, languages and graphical elements, the so-called “flexible forms”, can now be automatically processed as a whole in the system. Thanks to I.R.I.S. FlexForm™, all flexible forms are processed according to one and same description file, using the unique OCR technology of I.R.I.S. and artificial intelligence algorithms.

Unique supervision tools Improved
Unique supervision tools help you avoid any operational problem during the whole processing. The Audit Trail module offers a wide range of indicators and statistical/graphical reports that make you have full control over the users’ achievements and the system’s productivity.

Unique combination of verification tools Improved
IRISCapture Pro for Forms is provided with an unmatched combination of 4 verification tools: BCIP (Batch Character Image Processing) for visual mass verification, Capture for free-format field capture, FMC (Field Mode Correction) for context verification, CAC (Computer Assisted Coding) for linked field capture. You can select the tool that is most appropriate for the type of field concerned. All verification tools are intuitive and optimized for fast correction.

Flexible client-server architecture
IRISCapture Pro for Forms is a flexible client-server application that runs on different operating systems - Microsoft Windows, Unix and Linux – and operates with different databases, including SQLBase, Oracle and Informix.

Open solution - API
IRISCapture Pro for Forms is an open solution. Its standard IRISCapture Pro for Forms API (Application Program Interface) offers easy interfacing with other applications and enables programmers to freely customize the application.
