Captovation Announces New Version of ecScan for eCapture; New Version Will Support Native-ISIS Scanning Interface.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers AIIM (Association for Information and Image Management International, Silver Spring, MD, www.aiim.org) A membership organization founded in 1943 devoted to creating industry standards and disseminating information about the document management industry. 2003 Booth 1957 MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 7, 2003 Captovation, a leading provider of production-level and browser-based document capture software, announced today new features that will be added to ecScan - eCapture's production-level scanning component. Highlighting the new features is ecScan's ability to directly interface with ISIS (Image and Scanner Interface Specification) scanning controllers. ISIS(R) is a software driver technology designed by Pixel Translations (www.pixtran.com). ISIS provides a standard interface to document scanners along with a variety of image processing image processing Set of computational techniques for analyzing, enhancing, compressing, and reconstructing images. Its main components are importing, in which an image is captured through scanning or digital photography; analysis and manipulation of the image, accomplished features. ISIS has become the "de-facto" standard within the document imaging industry. As a result, most document scanner manufacturers provide ISIS drivers with their scanners. Once released, the new ecScan version will support over 250 document scanner models. Previously, ecScan for eCapture only supported the Adrenaline(R) and VRS (Video Relay Service) A communications service for the hearing or speech impaired. A VRS is the video counterpart of a TTY relay service, in which the user types on a terminal, and the relay operator speaks the messages to the recipient (see TDD/TTY). (R) (VirtualReScan) scanning interfaces developed by Kofax (www.kofax.com). Adrenaline and VRS are available in both software and hardware (Video or SCSI SCSI in full Small Computer System Interface Once common standard for connecting peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, etc.) to small and medium-sized computers. SCSI has given way to faster standards, such as Firewire and USB. card) versions. The new version of ecScan will help to reduce overall system costs by eliminating the need to purchase Adrenaline engines when technology such as VRS is not required. Nonetheless, Captovation is committed to continuing long-term support for Adrenaline and VRS technology. This new version of ecScan will also feature document image thumbnail support. After scanning a batch of documents, users can review the batch and see thumbnails of every image. Thumbnails can be displayed in three different sizes, so that they can be enlarged enough to distinguish document types. ecScan thumbnails will also take advantage of drag-and-drop functionality to easily re-order images within a batch. Image Processing features - including bar code and patch code recognition, blank page deletion, black border removal, hole removal, cropping, deskew, and others - are also included with this new version. "By providing native scanning interfaces for both Adrenaline and ISIS, we can better support the unique capabilities of each platform without a bias towards either technology," said Ken Peterka, Captovation's President and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. . "We can now provide our resellers and customers with a choice."
