Imagine capturing all of your incoming content, whether it's in scanned documents, e-mail, XML or word processing files. Imagine moving paper documents from your remote offices to your central workflow system without shipping paper anywhere. Imagine being able to scan and index your content from down the hall or from halfway around the world -- anywhere you have a copier and a Web browser. Imagine Ascent Capture.

Ascent Capture 6 is the ideal solution for low-end jobs to the most complex, highest volume document and content system applications. AC6 delivers powerful, production-level document and data capture with OCR for machine print, ICR for handwriting, OMR for check marks and bar codes. AC6 enables you to move email, word processing files, photos, web forms, XML streams and more through the same powerful indexing and validation process. With the Ascent Capture Internet Server module remote scanning with indexing and validation is made easy, and the Web Validation Server lets you distribute the powerful indexing and validation capabilities where you need them. AC6 also adds color image processing and advanced thresholding to improve image quality and OCR accuracy for color documents.

Ascent Capture can be easily customized to create a highly integrated content solution that meets your specific needs:

• Remote Capture. Before Ascent, most organizations with remote offices were forced to either ship their paper documents to a central site for scanning or send low-quality faxes. Now your remote offices can scan documents – and even index and validate them – directly into the central Ascent Capture process for release into your back-end enterprise system. You save the costs of shipping and photocopying, benefit from better security and document quality, get faster access to your content, and accelerate your business processes. Ascent is the undisputed leader in remote capture. Choose the Ascent Capture Internet Server to capture batches of documents, or Ascent Ricochet to capture transactions quickly and easily, without any knowledge of production capture.
• Custom Modules. Tailor Ascent to support your precise business processes with any of dozens of plug-and-play custom modules. From powerful forms-processing modules that can extract information from even the most difficult documents, to postal mail scanning, to microfilm archiving for long-term records retention, Ascent custom modules give you powerful, off-the-shelf alternatives. Or you or your consultant can write your own. Ascent’s flexible architecture makes it possible.
• Import Controller. Create front-end scripts to feed Ascent Capture from enterprise applications such as financials, human resources, manufacturing, and management decision support.
• Customizable User Interface. Modify the Ascent Capture user interface via Visual Basic, Visual C++, or any language that supports COM.
• Database Lookup Interface. Set up sophisticated database lookups without scripting.
• Flexible Information Delivery. Deliver information into workflow and content management systems via release modules written in Visual Basic. Choose from our unrivaled library of release modules, or use our source code to write your own. And Ascent Capture lets you deliver information into multiple systems at the same time.
