 "Oce PRISMAscan Convert Software To Simplify Digitisation")
Oce, a player in the digital document management and delivery space, has announced new Oce PRISMAscan Convert – document conversion software that simplifies the transformation of paper documents into digital format. New Oce PRISMAscan Convert software uses an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) engine to convert scanned documents into editable files compatible with electronic data distribution and archiving management applications.
With Oce PRISMAscan Convert software, enterprises can convert a wide range of document formats, including TIFF, JPEG, and PDF, created on any standard black and white or colour scanner. The OCR engine automatically recognises printed data for text, barcodes, tables and images and processes them smoothly without compromising quality.
Oce PRISMAscan Convert software can create output in a variety of formats for use with many applications, including Oce PRISMAarchive for long-term archiving, Adobe Acrobat (PDF image, searchable or archive files); Microsoft Word (TXT, RTF); Microsoft Excel (CSV, XLS), Microsoft PowerPoint (PPT), image editing applications like TIFF, JPEG and PDF images, Web browsers like Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox and systems that import XML files.
Key Oce PRISMAscan Convert functions
Oce PRISMAscan Convert software provides an on-ramp to an enterprise’s digital workflow, streamlining the paper-to-digital migration by simplifying five core document management tasks. These capabilities include production scanning, which enables users to process large numbers of scanned data files; digital distribution to external applications like e-mail; connectivity to external document management, CRM and archiving systems; conversion of image files into a variety of output formats; and automatic digitisation and conversion of large numbers of documents into searchable PDF or Word documents.
Templates for processing and converting files
Oce PRISMAscan Convert software brings versatility to the conversion of scanned documents by providing three ways to run the templates that describe how to process or convert scanned files. Customers can run templates manually, which allows operators to check and edit scanned data. Templates can be scheduled to run during off-hours to optimise PC or server usage without impacting other programs. Finally, templates can be run automatically, wherein the system checks hot folders and automatically launches the conversion process when scanned files enter the hot folder.
Other features
The basic offering of the software can convert up to 10,000 images a month, while the most powerful version enables organisations to convert up to one million images per month. These features make the software an ideal choice for enterprises that perform large volumes of conversion tasks. Other options include support for Asian languages, two-dimensional barcodes (industry-standard PDF 417) and XML output.
