Alchemy Scan![]()
Alchemy SCAN is an extension for Alchemy Premium, Pro and Gold. It is the easiest way to convert paper-based documents into a secure electronic repository that is also immediately accessible and searchable.
Alchemy SCAN is completely integrated within
the Alchemy Build program. It captures paper
documents using a wide selection of popular
scanners and uses optical character recognition
(OCR) to create searchable text. SCAN also
reads barcodes and stores the information in
profile fields in the repository.
You can index scanned images using one of six
methods: data entry, batch profiling, OCR zoning,
OCR full-page, OCR drag and drop or barcodes.
SCAN's handy drag and drop OCR feature
populates a profile field with words from the
image. SCAN can also translate data from
barcodes into profile fields.
SCAN is versatile and scalable. It can be used
with Alchemy Gold in smaller environments
where one scanner is connected to the system
and relatively low volumes of information are
maintained. It works equally well in larger
environments where Alchemy Premium or Pro
is implemented and multiple scan stations are
present. SCAN supports batch scanning and
batch OCR indexing.
Here's how SCAN works. First, you scan
documents into an Alchemy folder. Then you
create searchable full-text or key fields using
the OCR or barcode feature. You can also key in
data using profile cards. You can also edit the
scanned images - rotate, flip, invert, cut, clear
- before storing them in the Alchemy database
container.
The number of pages an Alchemy SCAN station
can process in a day is dependent on several
factors: the scanner speed and automation
features, the document size, simplex or duplex,
resolution, black and white or color and
OCR indexing.
