Distributed and Browser-based Data Capture

If your documents or workforce is not centrally located, Taskmaster enables you to distribute Tasks in a standard browser. You can scan and index documents, as well as administer Taskmaster from a browser.

Lower Cost with Browser-based Indexing & Data Entry

Whether your data capture processes are distributed or centrally located, you can use a browser. This will lower your shipping costs for documents and overnight mail, speed input of documents, and lower your total cost of ownership as you will not be adding another desktop client for IT to manage and support.

Full Browser-based Capabilities

All the functions, from user authentication, to task queuing are supported in a browser. Taskmaster Server ties all users together, whether they are running a browser or the desktop client.

Online Remote Document Scanning

When you choose a browser-based interface for remote scanning, you don't have to compromise on speed. Taskmaster Web drives a scanner as fast as it can go. Even if users are working remotely over the Internet, there's no slowdown. That's because Taskmaster Web saves the images locally, in a "cache" where they are scanned. If bandwidth is an issue during work hours, a separate "upload" task can transfer images later, or at night, or whenever the bandwidth is available. Taskmaster Web is "online" remote scanning. That means that from the moment scanning begins the batch is centrally tracked. If a user does not transfer the batch, then administrators will know exactly where it is, even without synchronization between the central and remote locations.

TWAIN - the Industry-Standard Interface

The most common software interface from a computer to a scanner is the TWAIN interface. It is supported by hundreds of scanners - it usually comes with the scanner. That means you save money on the cost of hooking up a scanner, something that is very important if you plan on adding remote users for scanning low volumes of documents with a browser.

Remote Document Indexing

Taskmaster lets you distribute indexing or recognition verification. Scan documents remotely, then transfer them to a central location for data recognition, verification and indexing. Or you can scan centrally, then distribute work remotely for indexing.

Remote System Administration

To keep a capture system running smoothly, Taskmaster provides a browser-based Job Monitor that lets a supervisor peer into the capture environment and see where all the work is and who is working on it. By applying filters, users can select exactly what work they want, even if there are thousands of batches in process. With the proper rights, the user can also delete batches and make direct changes to the properties of a batch. You can check batches in progress, or use the Job Monitor Filter to isolate individual stations or users. You can also run reports that give you up-to-date information on the system, whether you're around the corner or around the world.
