About Oracle Document Capture

Oracle Document Capture provides production-level document scanning and indexing. It consists of several components:

Component	Description
Scan	Use the Scan component to scan pages into batches. Batch scanning typically uses medium to high-speed scanners with automatic document feeders to scan paper into batches of 50 to 500 images. You can also import images. For example, the accounting department in a large corporation might get thousands of invoices every day. They need a way to store the information and be able to access it easily. Scan lets them scan and store the invoices electronically, so they can either discard the paper or put it in storage. Note that two versions of the Scan component are available: Scan for ISIS and Scan for Adrenaline.
Index	Use the Index component to index batches of scanned images. You index images by assigning one or more values to them in index fields. After indexing batches, you commit them in Index. Committing a batch creates documents from the images and archives them so they can be accessed in a content management system. When people look for documents later, they will look for the information you entered in these index fields. For example, when indexing accounting documents, you enter an invoice number for each page in a field called Invoice Number. Later, a person needing to locate an invoice would go into their content management system and find it by searching for the invoice number you entered.
Batch Manager	Use the Batch Manager component to view all Capture batches on the network. You can also use it to perform tasks such as moving or copying batches between file cabinets (for example, if scanned using the wrong profile), adding notes or changing batch status or priority.

Description

Scan

Use the Scan component to scan pages into batches. Batch scanning typically uses medium to high-speed scanners with automatic document feeders to scan paper into batches of 50 to 500 images. You can also import images.

For example, the accounting department in a large corporation might get thousands of invoices every day. They need a way to store the information and be able to access it easily. Scan lets them scan and store the invoices electronically, so they can either discard the paper or put it in storage.

Note that two versions of the Scan component are available: Scan for ISIS and Scan for Adrenaline.

Index

Use the Index component to index batches of scanned images. You index images by assigning one or more values to them in index fields.

After indexing batches, you commit them in Index. Committing a batch creates documents from the images and archives them so they can be accessed in a content management system.

When people look for documents later, they will look for the information you entered in these index fields. For example, when indexing accounting documents, you enter an invoice number for each page in a field called Invoice Number.

Batch Manager

Use the Batch Manager component to view all Capture batches on the network. You can also use it to perform tasks such as moving or copying batches between file cabinets (for example, if scanned using the wrong profile), adding notes or changing batch status or priority.
