Capture

The Capture app allows you to easily digitize analog content. You can automate the data capture process, enable intelligent OCR capture, track document history details, and support MFD, mobile, and browser-based scanning.

Advanced Image Processing

With Vasion's powerful Advanced Image Processing (AIP) Advanced Image Processing (AIP) is a feature that allows Administrators to set up image processing based on Zonal OCR, Barcode, and Zonal OMR. feature, you can process uploaded or captured document images to identify various data types. You can configure the following areas within a document:

  • Text zones
  • Barcode zones
  • OMR zones

AIP scans documents for text, barcode, and optical mark recognition (OMR) Optical Mark Recognition (OMR), also called optical mark reading, is the process of capturing human-marked data from document forms such as surveys, tests, product evaluations, time sheets, etc. They are used in the form of lines or shaded areas. data that can be applied to object fields. Upload sample documents of each type of document you capture to use for creating and mapping zones. Then choose what you want to do with the document after it is successfully processed:

  • Send to Folder — save the document in Vasion Storage.
  • Send to Workflow — use the document to start a new workflow.

AIP Requirements

If you want to process files with Advanced Image Processing, or Intelligent Data Capture powered by Amazon Textract, the following is required:

  • An existing Object. To learn more about objects, see Objects.

Send to Vasion

The Send to Vasion application, which consists of Scan to Vasion and Print to Vasion, is required by Capture if you're going to do any of the following.

  • Use a scanner to import documents into storage or a workflow.
  • Use the Print to Vasion option to send documents to storage or a workflow.
  • Use the Vasion folder shortcut to move files into storage or a workflow.

Details on how to install Send to Vasion and how to use the Vasion components are in the end user section.

Intelligent Data Capture

Vasion's Intelligent Data Capture is powered by Amazon Textract and uses machine learning (ML) capabilities to read and process documents. You no longer have to create templates with mapped zones of data you want located for each captured document. For more details or assistance about implementing Amazon Textract, contact your customer success manager.

Capture further extends text extraction capabilities by combining Amazon Textract with Amazon Comprehend to pull text and structural information from files and control who has access to sensitive data by identifying and redacting Personally Identifiable Information (PII) from documents.

Intelligent Data Capture Requirements

In addition to configuring an existing object, the following is also required, depending on the type of data capture:

  • A sample document used to map the fields identified by the Textract process.
  • An AWS account. The AWS access key ID and secret key are required.

  • S3 Bucket used to process the files. The AWS region and the name of the bucket are required.

    The S3 Bucket used to process the files should not be used as a storage location. It's used by Textract to process the documents to extract the text and data.

  • An object text field to store the PII information detected.

You are billed directly by Amazon for the number of pages processed each month. Amazon Textract and Amazon Comprehend are two separate services each with its own pricing.

For specific requirements see Textract Configuration or Textract and Comprehend.
