FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)


What functions are included with teD SCAN?

teD SCAN is a “front end” capture and processing system for several document management systems or it can operate as a standalone product. Functions available are: zone OCR (used to convert specified areas within document to text for purposes of database validation (ODBC), full OCR for creating searchable PDF’s, front end database validation and extraction, choice of backend databases for retrieval, sophisticated user-definable indexing techniques, choice of repository image formats (Tif, PDF, etc), optional bar code recognition (1D and 2D), Forms Recognition, Forms Registration and OMR, and standard Windows Explorer dynamic folder structures


How is teD SCAN different than other “scan” applications?

teD SCAN was developed using an “open” architecture design. All file structures and images are non-proprietary. Images are captured by monitoring standard Windows folders and subfolders. teD SCAN processes images and files through a series of user definable steps, then publishes the images to Windows Explorer.  The indexing data is written to a variety of backend databases and DMS systems for retrieval purposes. teD SCAN offers considerable value when compared to other “scan” programs because it is easy to use and highly functional. The price is fixed, not based upon usage (clicks).


What scanners or multi-function devices are compatible with teD SCAN?

teD SCAN is device independent. If the scanning device can produce a Tif or a PDF image, then Capture Plus can process it.


How is teD SCAN licensed?

The license for teD SCAN is for each “indexing” station(s). Indexing stations can process multiple automated workflows simultaneously.  A dongle is used for license protection.  A complete demonstration package is available for download and evaluation.


How is the investment in teD SCAN protected?

The non-proprietary design of teD SCAN protects the investment. teD SCAN utilizes the standard Windows file structure before publishing to any ODBC database.  The risk associated with using teD SCAN is measured by the risk associated with selecting Microsoft Windows as the preferred platform.
