 
Scanning Systems enable you to capture your paper
documents and organize those paper documents electronically so that they can be
retrieved quickly and easily. These systems include both hardware and software.
Scanning, or Capture, software, enables you to run
your scanner, capture paper documents, organize those documents
electronically, and enhance the scanned images.
In order to get the most out of your documents and
your scanning operation and for high-volume applications, more sophisticated
technologies such as barcode recognition, OCR, ICR, and forms processing may be
used.
Reynolds
has 12 years of experience designing, installing, and supporting these systems.
We have partnered with leading hardware and software manufacturers including
Bell and Howell, Fujitsu, EMC Documentum, and Kofax. For information on
scanners, please see the Scanners section to the left.
We have selected Kofax Ascent Capture as our
primary Scanning System. Their scanning products are easy and intuitive to use,
extremely reliable, have excellent image enhancing technologies, and connect
seamlessly to nearly any imaging system or application software, making them the
ideal front end for almost any system.
 Ascent Capture
is Kofax's primary scanning software. It is the most popular information capture application worldwide. It
accelerates business processes by collecting paper documents, forms and
e-documents, transforming them into accurate, retrievable information, and
delivering it all into your business applications and databases.
Ascent Capture is the centerpiece of the Ascent
product family - it's a modular application that can be used right out of the
box to meet the information capture needs of a specific department, and expanded
with Ascent modules to meet the complex requirements of a high-volume
enterprise. The open Ascent architecture makes it easy to extend the basic
application to handle complex, high-volume forms processing, as well as to
capture information directly from remote offices.
Ascent Capture offers unmatched compatibility with
scanners and other capture devices, plus content and document management
systems, workflow applications and databases. No matter what hardware or
enterprise applications you choose now or in the future, you can count on Ascent
Capture to ensure consistent capture, indexing and validation of your important
information.
Capture Documents, Data, and More
Ascent Capture delivers powerful, production-level
document and data capture. For document capture, it boasts the fastest, most
flexible scanning and indexing solution around. For data capture, Ascent Capture
can extract important information such as handprinted words, machine-printed
text, bar codes and even checked boxes.
Ascent Capture can use the same powerful indexing
and validation process to capture information that doesn’t start on paper, such
as electronic documents, multimedia files and even XML feeds from other systems.
That means your workflow or content-management system gets consistently indexed
content – no matter what the source – and your enterprise gets reliable, easy
and fast retrieval of all your information. If your business is moving from
paper-based to digital systems, Ascent Capture can help smooth the way.
Designed For Any Industry
We’ve sold over 50,000 Ascent Capture licenses
into industries as diverse as state and local government, manufacturing,
transportation, financial services, insurance, healthcare, accounting, and
legal. No matter what industry you’re in, Ascent Capture speaks your language.
Features:
Ascent Capture has long been a favorite choice for
mid-range sites that need lots of out-of-the-box functionality and easy setup.
It is also a great choice for high volume sites that want the ability to install
a highly customized solution. Ascent Capture 6 delivers unsurpassed scalability
and robust batch control for the most demanding production capture environments.
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.
-
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.
Easy To Use, Easy To Install
Ascent Capture is recognized for its ease of use
and fast, simple installation. Many applications can be up and running in hours,
rather than days or weeks of expensive installation and configuration. And when
the job changes, Ascent Capture’s test mode and point-and-click batch editing
make setup a breeze.
Scalable To Grow With Your Enterprise
Scanning a few hundred pages a day? No problem. We
have low-cost, stand-alone configurations that provide all the functionality you
need. Scanning a million pages a day? Still not a problem. A networked
installation of Ascent Capture can be expanded easily by adding more scanning,
recognition, validation, or release stations. And with the Ascent Capture
Internet Server and Ascent Ricochet you can expand even further by installing
remote scanning and indexing stations anywhere around the world, all linked to
your central site via the Internet or your corporate network.
Supports Color Scanning
Ascent Capture has color image processing and
advanced thresholding to improve image quality and OCR accuracy for color
documents. It uses advanced algorithms developed by Kofax to handle full-color
deskew, and state-of-the-art color-to-bitonal thresholding. Ascent Capture can
now automatically recognize color images, extract data from them and deliver
them into your business systems.
Integrates With Workflow And Content Management
Applications
Ascent Capture uses standard release scripts to
connect seamlessly to business systems from IBM, FileNet, Microsoft, Gauss,
Legato, Documentum, Open Text, Hyland, eiStream, Hummingbird and many others.
Ascent Capture can also export to any ODBC-compatible database or to a delimited
ASCII file. This flexibility makes Ascent Capture the perfect front end for any
system.
