Time to answer the last question posed during the April 9th AIIM webinar, Document Imaging for Microsoft-Driven Organizations. If you missed the webinar, a recording is available on our Website. And please post a comment to this blog post if you have further questions that you would like me to answer. I’m happy to keep this Q&A going as long as the questions come in!
Our final question is around document services and came in from an IT executive at a professional services company. He asks:
Does eCopy have the ability, when dealing with a common document format to, while scanning the doc, pull data in certain areas for OCR, then using that data for naming, routing, or storing metadata in a database?
Yes and no. eCopy ShareScan comes bundled with an OCR engine for full text indexing and search purposes. For example, a document can be OCRd during the scanning process to create a searchable PDF for improved search and retrieval from databases or back end application. Our product does not automatically extract portions of data (i.e. zonal OCR) for purposes of indexing and routing. However, eCopy ShareScan is an open development environment with a published API and document services interface. Through this services interface, capabilities such as metadata extraction, barcode recognition, and image compression and cleanup can be easily added. For example, one of eCopy’s partners, I.R.I.S., has used the SDK to offer a set of document services for ShareScan.
Thanks again for all the great questions around document imaging & Microsoft. And please, if you have any other questions, please post them as a comment to the blog.

In addition to eCopy's built in OCR for searchable text we also offer custom development services through our professional services organization. (ePS) We have done many ZoneOCR projects that integrate different document types into varying back end systems. Many of our solutions include reading zones from documents, applying business logic to the document for archival or routing within an organization. We also provide solutions that incorporate real time end user validation of the zones for accurate recognition. eCopy is happy to help with your document capture needs and can build a custom solution that delivers results.

Open Archive Systems is the first company to create and release an eCopy 4.2 Document Service. This service is capable of file naming and routing based off of Barcode data extracted during scans. This Open Archive Document Service can be ordered and is available today through eCopy. There is also an Image enhancement component that allows for cleanup of poor quality images and background color removal improving OCR and readability.
