Command Line Interface
Automated Processing & 1-Click Interface 1-Cick Processing Video

SimpleIndex's 1-click scanning and indexing is enabled with its command line interface.  SimpleIndex job files can be saved and opened just like a Word document.  When you open a job file, SimpleIndex begins processing a new batch automatically.  Scanning, processing (OCR, barcodes, database autofill, etc) and export happen in sequence with no further input from the user.

For unattended processing, the command line interface lets you use Windows services and scheduled tasks to automate OCR, barcode recognition and database export tasks.

The Command Line Interface also allows SimpleIndex to be integrated with custom software applications with minimal to no programming required.

  • Field values, processing folders and other settings can be passed as command line parameters
  • Any SimpleIndex option can be set using XML job files
  • Database export links processed files to your app automatically
  • Control application behavior (display window, exit after processing, etc.)
  • Pre-Process and Post-Process features can execute other command line applications at start and end of batch
 
Unattended Server-Based Processing  
SimpleIndex 6 lets you run any SimpleIndex job as a Windows service for fully unattended processing.  This is particularly useful for high-volume, high-demand applications where scanned images are coming from many remote workstations, network scanners or digital copiers.  Images are uploaded to the server where they are processed automatically.  SimpleIndex performs barcode recognition, OCR and other indexing tasks and exports formatted files to storage and database servers.

Server processing licenses may be added to any version of SimpleIndex.  Unattended processing is possible without a server license, but a user must be logged on to the workstation for it to execute.  Windows services run automatically when the computer is booted up, even if nobody is logged on.

 
Integrate SimpleIndex in your Custom Application  
Are you a developer looking for an easy scanning interface to use with your custom database application?  Then SimpleIndex is the perfect solution for you!

With SimpleIndex, you can easily package pre-configured scanning and indexing settings for distribution with your application.  SimpleIndex's command-line interface allows you to pre-set some or all of the index values for each batch, or even to hide the SimpleIndex GUI altogether.  SimpleIndex can also interface directly with your database, inserting or updating index values and associating them with the images you scan.  With SimpleIndex, you won't have to write a separate import routine to get the new information into your database.

SimpleIndex is a far better option to developing your own scanning interface from scratch.  If your application needs to use advanced features like barcode recognition or dynamic OCR, SimpleIndex saves you hundreds of hours of development time.  If you need to let users preview each image, rotate, clean-up, rescan or index as necessary, why reinvent the wheel?

SimpleIndex means it is no longer too costly or complicated to bundle a full scanning application with your custom software.  Being a SimpleIndex reseller means big discounts on every copy you sell.  Sign up now!
