Imaging and Forms Processing

Introducción

Alfresco includes integrated scanning and OCR:

It can be used to implement an end-to-end solution by collecting paper documents and forms, transforming them into accurate, retrievable information, and delivering them into an organization's business applications. E.g.:

  • Connect a scanner to a network drive and map it to a space within Alfresco
  • Specify a business rule to automatically extract metadata from the scanned document
  • Define and execute a workflow process for scanned documents
  • Bulk upload scanned documents into the Alfresco repository
  • Integrate OCR utilities into Alfresco
  • Integrate and use Kofax Ascent Capture
  • Integrate Alfresco with eCopy-enabled scanners

Automated forms processing [ICR (Intelligent Character Recognition)] is used to capture data on forms that are filled inmanually using handwriting, machine print, and checkboxes.
