description

ccScan Advanced for SkyDrive is best explained with some examples: run unattended jobs to import electronic faxes, upload them to automatically selected SkyDrive folders, and automatically name the document, all based on information extracted from barcodes and text pattern searches in text obtained through OCR. Or scan documents and automatically create document names and descriptions. Since ccScan is highly configurable it can be applied to many scenarios where opportunities for automation and large time savings are present. ccScan Advanced features are based upon sophisticated technologies such as barcode detection, OCR, and Text Pattern search with Regular Expressions. These capabilities are applied to both the scanning of paper documents in the paper-based office and the processing of electronic documents in the paperless office. ccScan Standard for SkyDrive is similar to ccScan Advanced without the automation capabilities. ccScan Standard is typically used in a paper-based office to efficiently scan paper documents to SkyDrive. Use ccScan Standard to eliminate wasted time and the following extra steps: scan a document to your PC using any Twain scanner, name the document, create a folder in SkyDrive, upload the document to SkyDrive, and finally setting up SkyDrive document properties such as Description, Visibility, and Sharing mode. Instead, ccScan Standard does all of the above in a single-step operation.

Typical Scenario

• Typically people that scan documents to SkyDrive

• First scan to their PC, name the document, use the browser to create a folder in SkyDrive and upload their document(s), and optionally enter a description and obtain a shareable link to the document(s)

• Obviously this approach takes a lot more time than necessary

• The next slide shows how ccScan can eliminate this wasted time

• Obtained with text pattern searches in text retrieved with OCR

• Computed from running counters

• Barcode values, text search results, and counters are made available in “macros” which can be combined with static text to form complex expressions

• Use multiple barcodes and text pattern searches in combination with “conditional macros” to test for different document types and apply rule-based processing

• Automation works equally well with scanned paper documents and imported PDFs
