Scanning and signing

CROSSCAP will allow you to efficiently capture large numbers of documents. If required, you may also add legally compliant digital signatures (optional).

CROSSCAP offers a multitude of functions for image processing, text and barcode recognition, as well as batch-based document processing.

CROSSCAP is designed as a single-workstation solution and will support most TWAIN-compatible scanners. CROSSCAP may be expanded into a multi-user enterprise solution using CROSSCAP Enterprise and can easily be integrated into existing document or content management systems.

CROSSCAP is targeted at everyone requiring a high-performance solution for document capture. Typical customers are small or mid-sized companies, but also banks, insurance companies, governmental agencies and organisations from the health sector.

 

Scanning and processing

CROSSCAP's TWAIN interfacing has been designed so that it can be used with all popular scanner systems.

CROSSCAP fully supports multistream scanning.

Document separation can either be controlled through bar codes, patch codes or blank pages, or be performed manually.

Countless functions will help you to optimize image quality, e.g. automatic deskew for misaligned documents, removal of dirt and dust from the document and automatic removal of unwanted borders.

CROSSCAP can detect blank pages and will automatically exclude these from output.

CROSSCAP enables you to freely create document indices and output them as index-files.

 

Ease of use

CROSSCAP features a clear-cut menu system which meets current Microsoft Office™ standards and allows for quick familiarization with the product. All menu items can easily be adapted to the user's local language, and languages may even be switched while the program is up and running.

 

Bar code and text recognition

CROSSCAP incorporates an OCR engine which will recognize all major West-European languages. Text may be output as index information (zonal OCR), and it is also possible to create fully searchable PDF files (i.e. PDF files with a hidden text layer).

The barcode engine will recognize and interpret 1D and (optionally) 2D bar codes, anywhere on an image (2D bar codes will store substantially more information than a one-dimensional barcode).

 

Digital signatures (optional)

Electronic signatures are becoming increasingly important. In public administration or in the health industry, regulations may even require that digital documents contain certified signatures.

CROSSCAP allows signatures to be created in accordance with the German Digital Signature Act, thus confirming that the digital documents match the original paper documents. The resulting electronic documents will comply with legal requirements for long-term storage of sensitive documents.

CROSSCAP will attach digital signatures at the end of the capturing process. For this purpose, CROSSCAP incorporates DigiSeal, a signature module made by Secrypt GmbH.

Signatures may be applied in batch-mode: A single PIN entry will sign multiple documents.
