In one paragraph

Scan, read, check and deliver

Scan from any TWAIN or WIA scanner straight into the browser, or collect documents from folders, mailboxes, cloud storage and databases. DocView reads print, handwriting, tick boxes and barcodes, sorts and classifies the documents, checks the data against your rules, and delivers it to your systems. We can host it for you, or you can run it on your own servers or in your own cloud.

A Batch Setup describes one kind of work once: the workflow, image clean-up, how pages become documents, what each document is, which data to find, how to check it and where to send it. Operators only see what needs their attention; documents that are found, confident and valid go straight through to export.

How it works

Six steps from the post room to your systems

  1. Capture

    Scan in the browser or let documents arrive from folders, mailboxes, cloud storage, databases or the API.

  2. Clean up and check

    Pages are straightened and cleaned; blank, skewed, blurred or dark pages are flagged.

  3. Read and sort

    Printed text, handwriting, tick boxes and barcodes are read; the stack is split into documents and classified.

  4. Find and validate

    Finders pick out numbers, dates, amounts and line items; rules check totals, VAT numbers, IBANs and duplicates.

  5. Confirm what needs a person

    Operators see only uncertain or invalid values, next to the page.

  6. Deliver

    Searchable PDF, PDF/A or TIFF plus XML, CSV or JSON, sent to folders, SFTP, databases, web services and business systems.
