Capture Defined
Definition of CAPTURE
1: an act or instance of capturing: as
a: an act of catching, winning, or gaining control by force, stratagem, or guile
b: a move in a board game (as chess or checkers) that gains an opponent's piece
c: the absorption by an atom, nucleus, or particle of a subatomic particle that often
results in subsequent emission of radiation or in fission
d: the act of recording in a permanent file <data capture>
2: one that has been taken (as a prize ship)

Advanced Capture – Scaling Adjustment
When image sizes vary based on printer/scanner
 Reduces
the number of templates needed for a single
document
 Requires multiple Form ID or Page Registration zones
Advanced Capture – Form Definition Lookup Text
Form ID Only vs. Form Definition Lookup Text
 Test
of 100 unique documents with 100 templates
4.8 vs. 1.5 seconds
per page difference!
OnBase Capture – Unity Client Indexing Panel
When To Use OnBase Advanced Capture
Good Example
 Scanning in repeatable
forms
 Needing to automate a
handful of keywords from
structured or semistructured documents
 Automation of document
type identification from
structured or semistructured documents
Look Away
 When you need to scan
and extract multiple data
fields and push them to a
third party system outside
of OnBase
 Advanced line/service
item extraction
 Need enhanced data
validation at indexing time

Who is Parascript?
Software toolkits that reliably recognize machine print, handprint,
and cursive
History
Software
• 20 years of pattern recognition
research, innovation and
implementation
• Processes ~80% of U.S. checks, up
to or greater than 90% accuracy
• Award winning: ~50% lower error
rate for signature validation1
• The first to apply recognition to one
of the most challenging tasks –
cursive handwriting
1.
• 95% address recognition, machine
and hand-written, including cursive
12th International Conference on Frontiers in Handwriting recognition held in Kolkata,
India. SignatureXpert delivered the lowest error rate at 8.94%, compared with the next
best rate of 16.42%.
