OpenText is promising improved performance when scanning from mobile devices with the latest version of its Capture Center software.

"While the use of digital communications continues to rapidly expand, incoming paper documents are not declining in volume and we also see increasing use of smartphones for mobile image capture," said Peter Lipps, Vice President, Capture Solutions, OpenText.

"Improvements in acquiring the data from these paper assets and also advancing the technology to support documents captured by mobile devices are critical for today's businesses. Capture Center version 10.2 provides this as well as integration with any enterprise backend system, whether from OpenText or other industry-leading solution providers, through standard interfaces or our customisable application programming interface (API)."

As the cameras deployed in mobile devices do not provide the same fidelity of images as document scanners, Capture Center 10.2 employs improved image handling algorithms as well as a new method for improved character recognition.

Several additional new capabilities are available within Capture Center 10.2. New user and task management allows customers to manage which user or user group should handle which document batch. It also provides fine-grained access control to prevent unauthorised access.

Additional support is now available for high availability scenarios. For example, critical resources such as databases can now be individually managed and re-located.

Version 10.2 also offers improved support for unattended operations. Certain scenarios require uninterrupted and unattended operation such as high volume TIFF to searchable PDF/A rendering. Improved failure recovery and a new notification mechanism in Capture Center 10.2 are helpful in this and other scenarios.
