Open Source Document Scanning Interface

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.

• Exception handling
• Meta Data import

• Works with the infoRouter Web Services API
• Can be installed on any machine with connectivity to the infoRouter server
