The field of document recognition technology provider, document capture and linguistic technologies ABBYY, introduced the ABBYY FlexiCapture 10. This latest generation of document capture application is able to classify documents, separate documents and retrieve data in the document automatically with the help of a scanner or camera devices.

There are many types of documents that currently must be inputted by a company or organization, ranging from reading a collection of customer satisfaction questionnaires, customer data, product surveys, test sheets and so on. These documents are commonly referred to as fixed forms or forms with uniform shape for data collection.

Besides the type uniform, ABBYY FlexiCapture 10 also can process the documents that are semi-structured, ie documents which have different forms but have the same information structure. Semi-structured documents such as tax invoice documents, invoices, curriculum vitae.   Although the tax invoice have different models, but always contains the invoice number, invoice date, the issuing party, taxpayer number and amount.

ABBYY FlexiCapture 10 able to retrieve required information from different forms of documents automatically. This can be done with the support autolearning technologies, namely smart technology that is able to remember the position and location of the data or information on any type of document.

In addition to recognizing the different data, the system is also capable of handling data collection in large numbers, up to millions of pieces per day. Equipped with intelligent tools, this technology can be remotely operated and integrated with business processes and business applications.

FlexiCapture 10 can make a read-pattern document automatically only by the location of data with mouse click on a few sample documents in each document.  Enough with 3 to 5 examples of document from each type of document, the system is able to classify documents automatically.

There are several technologies in ABBYY flexiCapture 10, such as Optical Character Recognition technology, technology capable of recognizing machine printed characters, either from the printer or typewriter.  There is also the intelligent character recognition technology that can recognize handwritten block letters. Barcode recognition which is able to recognize barcode letters, and optical mark recognition technology that able to processing input option.

Designing the interface for the touch screen is not an easy job. The number of movements that must be captured and responded by the screen sometimes made to work extra hard, even overwhelmed, so the screen becomes less sensitive and responsive to touch.
