Captovation
Announces New Version of ecScan for eCapture Minneapolis,
MN, April 7, 2003 -- Captovation,
a leading provider of production-level and browser-based document capture
software, announced today new features
that will be added to ecScan – eCapture’s production-level scanning
component. Highlighting the new
features is ecScan’s ability to directly interface with ISIS (Image and
Scanner Interface Specification) scanning controllers. ISIS® is a software driver technology designed by Pixel Translations (www.pixtran.com). ISIS provides a standard interface to document scanners along with a variety of image processing features. ISIS has become the “de-facto” standard within the document imaging industry. As a result, most document scanner manufacturers provide ISIS drivers with their scanners. Once released, the new ecScan version will support over 250 document scanner models. Previously,
ecScan for eCapture only supported the Adrenaline® and VRS®
(VirtualReScan) scanning interfaces developed by Kofax (www.kofax.com). Adrenaline and VRS are available in both software and
hardware (Video or SCSI card) versions. The new version of ecScan will help to
reduce overall system costs by eliminating the need to purchase Adrenaline
engines when technology such as VRS is not required.
Nonetheless, Captovation is committed to continuing long-term support for
Adrenaline and VRS technology. This new version of ecScan will also feature document image thumbnail support. After scanning a batch of documents, users can review the batch and see thumbnails of every image. Thumbnails can be displayed in three different sizes, so that they can be enlarged enough to distinguish document types. ecScan thumbnails will also take advantage of drag-and-drop functionality to easily re-order images within a batch. Image Processing features - including bar code and patch code recognition, blank page deletion, black border removal, hole removal, cropping, deskew, and others – are also included with this new version. “By providing native scanning interfaces for both Adrenaline and ISIS, we can better support the unique capabilities of each platform without a bias towards either technology,” said Ken Peterka, Captovation’s President and CEO. “We can now provide our resellers and customers with a choice.” Captovation will be
demonstrating the new version of ecScan and the entire eCapture product line in
booth number 1957 at the 2003 AIIM Exposition and Conference in New York City
from April 7th through April 9th.
ecScan and the rest of the eCapture product suite can be purchased
through Captovation’s eCapture Certified Resellers.
General availability of the new version of ecScan is expected for Q2
2003.
