INDICIUS 5.5

1. What new features are in the INDICIUS 5.5 release?

The following new features are found in the INDICIUS 5.5 product release.

Email Processing

Emails and their attachments can now be processed using INDICIUS modules. The contents of email bodies and image, PDF or text file attachments can be used for classification, separation and extraction and can be displayed in the keying modules. Attachments of other types (such as Word or Excel files) are with the email but can not be used in       the processing.  PDF files that contain content (not just an image) can be processed without requiring OCR, thus increasing system throughput and accuracy.

It is important to note that an Email Processing solution utilizing the Ascent Capture Email Importer (ACEI) must currently include the “INDICIUS Email Batch Converter” custom module in order to restructure the batch into an appropriate structure (one Ascent document per attachment). This custom module is available through KPSG.

This feature extends the INDICIUS offering from just paper to the electronic document world. Users can now seamlessly process email bodies and attachments through INDICIUS and export them into an ECM system.   It is important for attachments association to remain visible to the user (Word, Excel, PowerPoint etc).  It aids regulatory requirements for ensuring documents received together then archived remain unchanged.  INDICIUS is unique within the Kofax product portfolio, that it processes paper and electronic documents and attachments.  It is irrelevant how the data comes into your organization – both batch classes can be handled (electronic, scanned). 

Configuration Libraries

INDICIUS now includes a powerful set of script libraries that massively simplify the scripting of complex classification/separation and extraction solutions. The libraries can be easily dropped into any new solution and drastically reduce the amount of script that needs to be written. There are 3 libraries:

  • Classification/Separation Library
  • Extraction Library
  • Logging Library
All of the libraries are supplied as both open and encrypted scripts. The encrypted versions are directly supported as part of the product. The open versions can be edited and extended if necessary. 

Document Review enhancements

Document Review is an extremely efficient production module that enables users to resolve document classification and separation problems as quickly as possible. Document Review has been enhanced to offer several new capabilities:

  • Suspend and resume functionality
    Processed batches in Document Review can now be placed in a suspended state and resumed later; the work will be saved so that if another user reopens the batch it will start at the same place the previous user left off without any loss of work
  • Customizable menu shortcut keys
    A new level of configuration of document review has been developed.  This displays basic and extended information for each document or page in the batch.  You now have the ability to configure the shortcut keys in Document Review that may be more intuitive and should improve the efficiency of processing.
  • View additional information
    Additional information can be configured to display on the different levels (document, page, etc.) of Document Review to facilitate processing and help identify potential errors in batches.  This means that more meaningful information about the document can be displayed against a batch – eg: where the document originated from – scan, email or even what department it originated from. 
  • Jump to next problem
    When working in Document Review, the focus will automatically jump to the next problem as soon as the current one is fixed expediting document processing.  This new feature aids the speed of reviewing and reduces key strokes when trying to fix problems.  The feature can be tailored to the individuals that use Document Review. 
  • “QuickSelect” document type
    This selection enables the reclassification of documents to a specified document type with a single keystroke. 

Multi-Engine Voting (RecoStar) performance enhancements

The additional voting engine (RecoStar) throughput limit has been increased from 150 characters per second (cps) to 250 cps. It has also been changed from a per-machine limit to a per-instance of Recognition limit, meaning that the Multi-Engine Voting now scales successfully on dual or quad-processor installations.

Documentation enhancements

All of the configuration, integration and scripting help has now been consolidated into a single help system and is accessed through an intuitive Help Viewer. 

Licensing Modifications

A number of changes have been made to the INDICIUS licensing:

  • Image classification is now available for fixed-form solutions (INDICIUS Free-form Classification license is no longer needed for image classification)
  • Modifications have been made to simplify the process to create and distribute evaluation and temporary licenses.  Ascent Capture has the mechanism to issue an emergency (temporary) license (time limited and volume limited) which INDICIUS also responds to which ensures no interruption to production. 
  • INDICIUS evaluation licenses are in sync with Ascent Capture and so when you receive an evaluation of Ascent Capture you also have the capability to evaluate INDICIUS.  Licensing of features and throughput are controlled through the Ascent Capture dongle.  No additional dongles are required. Feature and throughput upgrades are easier to provide to end-users, since they can be delivered by Ascent Capture reactivation.
  • The requirement for the INDICIUS Bank Details Validation license has been removed. The Bank Details Validation feature (UK only) is always available, subject to the purchase of a BankWizard license directly from Eiger Systems.
  • The INDICIUS Statistics Reporter license has been removed. This module is now always available.
  • The option of licensing using legacy HASP dongles has been removed.

Certification on Presentation Server\Terminal Services

The INDICIUS keying modules (Document Review, Correction, and Completion) have now been certified for use on Presentation Server 4.0 and Microsoft Terminal Services when installed on Windows 2000/2003.
