1. Introduction

1.1. The Purpose of Data Capture

A large variety of documents is used today: in business, production and services. Applications,

questionnaires, invoices, drafts and other documents are essential for any company. Modern information

technology makes paper documents insufficient, and most data is converted to electronic form for storage,

analysis and processing purposes.

The most labour- and time consuming thing about electronic documents was data input. It could only be

entered by hand, which was reasonable with a small amount of information. However, this doesn’t work

well with large document volumes. The speed of manual entry cannot be momentarily increased when the

situation so demands, because manual entry groups are hard to manage, and the costs of changes may

equal those of starting the process anew.

Thus, manual entry is not the optimal way. Its alternative, a simpler and more effective way, is an

automatic data capture system like ABBYY FlexiCapture 9.0.

1.2. Data Capture Automation

ABBYY FlexiCapture 9.0 is data capture software for processing structured, semi-structured (FlexiLayout)

and non-structured documents.

Automatic data capture consists of the following stages:

· A pack of pages is scanned using a document scanner first;

· The scanned pages are then automatically bundled into documents;

· The characters are automatically recognized;

· Uncertainly recognized characters are sent to the Operator for checking (verification),

· Confirmed data is finally exported to a file or database, and document images are saved to the

specified folder. Images can be saved in a graphical format or as a searchable PDF file.
