Overview
ABBYY FlexiCapture is a powerful data capture and document processing solution
from a world-leading technology vendor. It is designed to transform streams of
documents of any structure and complexity into business-ready data. And its award-winning
recognition technologies, automatic document classification, plus a highly
scalable and customizable architecture, mean that it can help companies and
organizations of any size to streamline their business processes, increase
efficiency and reduce costs.
What is Forms Processing?
Forms processing is a process whereby information entered into data fields is
converted into electronic form. Automated form processing software interprets
machine-print (OCR), isolated handprint (ICR), mark sense (OMR) and barcodes
from paper forms.
ABBYY FlexiCapture is highly accurate and scalable document imaging and data
extraction software that automatically transforms documents of any structure,
language or content into usable and accessible business-ready data.
Intelligent self-learning classification and state-of-the-art recognition
technologies enable FlexiCapture to replace error-prone manual processes with
automatic document classification and processing.
Flexible and customizable, FlexiCapture can handle virtually all document
processing scenarios and can be tailored to any company’s workflows and
regulations.
Document Input
Scanning Station
FlexiCapture Scanning Station enables easy scanning with any TWAIN-, ISIS- and
WIA-enabled device. Available in thick and thin client versions.
Image Improvement
Pre-loaded or scanned images can be improved before processing using features
that include rotation, deskewing, hide sensitive data and more.
Recognition
The recognition stage includes assembly of documents, classification, text and
data extraction and automatic validation. These stages are executed
simultaneously in unattended mode.
Automatic Assembly of Multi-page Documents From a Mix of Pages
This may rely on separators (blank pages inserted between two documents), page
counters or advanced ABBYY classification algorithms – that enable automatic
detection of pages belonging to different documents.

Conformity with built-in validation rules
-
Compliance with format
-
Data normalization
-
Application of other user-defined checks
Verification
Group Verification
Group verification for checkmarks and digits is applied across documents in form
recognition projects. Identical figures (signs) from an entire document batch
are displayed together.
Verification in Document Window
Recognition results of all required data fields are viewed simultaneously and
compared with the original image. Information that is not successfully
recognized, such as handwritten text or notes, can be typed manually into the
fields.
Field Verification
Field verification checks data fields one by one.
Verification is available in thick and thin client versions. Verification is an
optional stage and can be skipped.
Export
For manual verification of recognition results, FlexiCapture offers several
verification modes that enable speedy verification and greater convenience.
FlexiCapture provides export to:
-
Files
-
SharePoint 2003/2007/2010/2013
-
ODBC-compatible databases
-
Any ERP system and invoice approval workflow
-
Any external application through use of custom script modules
Ideal for Large Companies and International Business
International companies can now enjoy a single solution for processing documents
in multiple languages - including Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese and 183
more!
Fast ROI, Low TCO
Elimination of labor-intensive operations guarantees fast ROI, while web-based
clients and easy-to-configure data extraction ensure low TCO.
Web-based Verification
Reduce costs and utilize your workforce more efficiently with Web-based data
verification. Operators simply log in to perform manual verification tasks.
Front Office Document Capture
Capture documents at point of entry to reduce processing time, delivery costs
and the space needed for storing paper documents. With the help of Web Capture
Station, scanning and verification can be performed in a single web-based
interface. This enables front office document capture without the need for a
thick client application – and speeds business processes by capturing documents
at point of origin then quickly delivering them to the back-end.
Optimized Performance and Fault Tolerance
Advanced server-based architecture enables effective processing of large volumes
of documents. A powerful processing server handles all resource-intensive
operations – performing automated task distribution among the processing
stations and load balancing. Microsoft Cluster support ensures consistent system
operation and prevents data loss in case of system failure.
Flexible Workflow
A flexible workflow can easily be adjusted to your specific business processes.
FlexiCapture offers a powerful set of tools for modifying the basic document
processing workflow with custom
processing stages, scripts, and external modules. The workflow also enables
document processing in a fully unattended mode.
Controllable Training Technology
With controllable training technology, simple “point-and-click” input can be
used to create layout descriptions and to define document types for
classification. Layout descriptions can automatically be generated simply by
indicating elements and data fields for extraction on several images.
Additionally, document descriptions can be fine-tuned in order to achieve even
higher accuracy in locating document fields. As opposed to "black-box"
self-learning systems, ABBYY FlexiCapture gives full control over the training
results.
Double Verification
Business-critical data fields can be verified by two operators independently
to rule out program or human error. Data will be accepted by the system as
verified only after proofreading results coincide from both operators.
Customizable Verification Station
As a part of the Standard Verification Station, FlexiCapture offers
scripting tools for customization of the user interface. This feature is
ideal for projects where additional tools are required for specific
operators, or where special regulations must be adhered to and monitored.
Whether the requirement is to modify menus and toolbars, add controls for
document-specific functions, or change the station’s behavior to fit a
particular scenario, all the changes can be scripted within FlexiCapture.
Robust Reporting
Custom reports for system and operator performance monitoring are available
in FlexiCapture. Crystal Reports Editor can be used by administrators to
generate custom reports from FlexiCapture’s database.
Easy Forms Design
Designing blank fixed forms has never been easier. Data-merging profiles can
merge barcodes and images to create new ways to automate high-volume jobs.
Easy-to-use default settings, drag-and-drop multipage support, and more,
also enable faster form design.
