Digitech PaperFlow is a good solution for scanning large quantities of documents in a multi-user environment.  It has no monthly scan limitations and a variety of built-in exports to common document management systems.

DocuLex Goby lets you automatically file images scanned with MFPs and digital copiers, as does SimpleIndex.

Compare OCR Software

MAC Users can use ReadIRIS for Mac or OmniPage X for Mac.

Digitech OCRFlow integrates with PaperFlow for high-volume OCR processing.  ABBYY Recognition Server provides centralized OCR processing for large organizations based on a per-processor server license.

We recommend ABBYY FineReader Corporate because of its concurrent licensing scheme, broad language support and support for "Hot Folders" for background processing.

SimpleIndex also includes a low-cost searching and viewing application that can be used for basic document management tasks.  Use SimpleIndex as a standalone document management system, or add  SimpleSearch to let you search and view documents on other workstations.  SimpleSearch costs 10-25% of the price of other document retrieval applications.

DocuLex WebSearch is a little different in that it automatically indexes all the content of your documents folders, similar to Google Desktop.  Users on the network can search on values in filenames, file properties or document contents.  Users access files on a website that can be made available anywhere in the world.  WebSearch is available in single user, 10 user and unlimited licenses.

Compare Forms Processing & Data Capture Systems

Use FormReader to automate any data entry task where data is filled out on a form and typed into a database. Surveys, applications, business reply mail and tests are just some the examples.

FormReader Enterprise provides powerful processing for large data processing centers and service bureaus.  Enterprise divides data processing and verification among multiple users for data entry tasks ranging from 30,000 forms per month to over a million.

Compare Forms Processing & Data Capture Systems

SimpleIndex implements a simplified version of FlexiCapture's dynamic OCR for a fraction of the cost.  FlexiCapture is a great deal versus comparable enterprise solutions like AnyDoc or Kofax.

IRISCapture for Invoices provides a much easier to configure solution for the specific task of processing invoice data.  IRISCapture is able to recognize key elements common to invoices, such as date, invoice number, total, etc. automatically, saving you days of highly technical configuration.

Compare Document Management Solutions

Digitech PaperVision provides a web interface with its document management server.  This lets you host your own documents online, or you can use their ImageSilo hosted solution.  ImageSilo is more feature-rich than DocumentMall, but at a higher monthly cost.

DocuLex WebSearch has a small office (10 user) and unlimited user versions that provides web-based access to documents using your in-house servers and a Google Desktop style search interface.

CompuThink ViewWise web clients are also available, giving you full access to document management functions over the web.  No hosted solution is available for ViewWise.

Compare Batch Scanning Software

PaperFlow is more expensive, but provides better features for multi-user scanning and indexing environments and more built-in exports to a variety of document and content management solutions.  SimpleIndex also has dynamic OCR and electronic file processing features that PaperFlow does not.

ScanStore also offers opportunities to earn dividends when you sell PaperVision and SimpleSearch to your clients for their retrieval needs.
