Tarrytown, NY - April 13, 2006 -
Datacap
announced today the release and immediate availability of Taskmaster 6.5, the
latest version of its flagship data and document capture software. Datacap
Taskmaster is the only client/server, rules-based document capture workflow
platform. Taskmaster provides
highly flexible solutions for document image indexing and data entry automation,
including browser-based scanning and indexing over the Internet. The new release extends Taskmaster
flexibility, with features that accelerate the setup, testing and implementation
of new applications, and significant innovations in Intelligent Document
Recognition (IDR).
"Datacap has long been committed to delivering capture solutions that are both flexible and easy to configure," said Datacap CEO Scott Blau. "Taskmaster 6.5 is a notch up in flexibility, with a big step forward in ease of use. Our customers and integrators want a capture product that meets demanding needs, but does not require a PhD to install and configure! Taskmaster 6.5 innovations such as the New Application Wizard, and Intellocate, are a direct response to these requirements."
Datacap
Taskmaster is the only capture solution with the flexibility to build custom
applications and adapt to a changing environment without expensive
programming. With a vast library of
Reusable Rules, Taskmaster set-up is simply a matter of assembling rules to
control every aspect of capture, including scanning, recognition, and export
formatting. New documents can be supported quickly with the Application Wizard,
which guides users through the set-up process. In Taskmaster 6.5, the Application
Wizard also greatly simplifies the transfer of an application from a test
environment to full production.
Taskmaster 6.5 delivers a more efficient method for handling new versions of highly variable documents like invoices. The process of setting up a new invoice type becomes part of the standard verification process with the new "Intellocate" feature. Leveraging "Click 'N Key" - a user interface feature that allows a user to click on the document image to capture the recognized value of the data in that location. Intellocate stores the data location for future invoices of the same format. This way new invoice formats can be automatically incorporated into a production system without any administrative overhead.
In addition to Intellocate, Taskmaster addresses a number of requests for the fast and accurate processing of invoices with Taskmaster for Invoices. The accuracy of Datacap's unique Fingerprint-vendor ID has been further enhanced. Fingerprint ID or matching is now a two-step process combining image analysis with OCR results. Taskmaster 6.5 now fully supports multiple page invoices, even when "header" data, such as the invoice total, is on the last page of an invoice.
With
Taskmaster 6.5, users are free to choose the capture platform best for them,
then configure best-of-breed capture technologies, including image processing,
recognition engines, and document ID software. Customers can take advantage of a
Taskmaster Server solution or choose individual Taskmaster tasks running on
their capture platform of choice, including Kofax Ascent Capture(r) and FileNet
Capture(r). Capture independence
means not relying on a single recognition engine technology or proprietary image
processing to accurately process all documents.
Datacap
Taskmaster 6.5 is now shipping. Current users of Taskmaster under maintenance
are eligible to upgrade at no additional charge. For more information, visit
