Goby Capture Professional provides simplified paper-to-electronic document conversion and electronic file capture by automating imaging processing functions. This document capture program was developed for use by an unlimited number of users throughout a company's organization. Goby Capture is a component of DocuLex's Archive Studio, featuring the instant document access retrieval program, WebSearch. A streamlined approach providing distributive (shared network capabilities) scanning with digital copiers/MFP's as well as network-enabling production scanners, Goby Capture allows "walk-up and scan" convenience with content indexing, archiving and document sharing/distribution capability. The program is ideal for use with DocuLex WebSearch, MS-explore or other document management system. With DocuLex Goby Capture, intelligent cover page technologies allow documents to be profiled and cataloged prior to scanning. Indexing criteria may be added via optical mark recognition or 2-D bar codes created with user-defined content. This allows documents to be scanned, indexed and organized electronically, then forwarded to the users desktop, file archive and to the document management system.
