The scanning interface module is an open source software that can easily be modified or extended
based on specific customer requirements.
Using this software, you can automatically import scanned documents from any scanner. You can also use it to
import scanned documents which have been pre-processed by Scanning and OCR applications such as KOFAX. Future versions of this software will support
KOFAX Ascent Capture release scripts and automatic conversion of TIFF images to PDF.
The scanning interface software module is completely free and is provided as
two applications that work in different modes:
- NT Service Application
- GUI Import Tool
Scanning Interface Tool working as an NT Service
This tool works as an NT service and automatically monitors pre-defined folders (Hot Folders) for
new documents. Based on settings defined in a configuration file, this tool automatically imports scanned documents
into infoRouter folders.
The configuration file allows users to specify the frequency in which the tool is to scan the
hot folders for new content.
Scanning Interface Tool working as a GUI Import Tool
This tool is a GUI Windows application that can be launched from any machine.
The user is prompted for a file system folder and a target infoRouter folder. It then imports the file system folders
into the targeted infoRouter folder.
Key features of Open Source Scanning Interface Software:
- Exception handling
- Meta Data import
- OCR Data import
- Works with the infoRouter Web Services API
- Can be installed on any machine with connectivity to the infoRouter server
