SimpleIndex 10.1 is now available, and it adds a huge new feature — Amazon Textract!

The Cloud OCR License adds the Amazon AWS Textract Cloud OCR engine to SimpleIndex, unlocking a bunch of great new capabilities:

• The highest OCR accuracy of any available engine, using Amazon’s massive machine learning model
• Handprint recognition, including unconstrained and cursive writing
• Automatic form field extraction
• Accounts Payable Invoices and Receipts extraction
• Pay-as-you-go licensing

The form field extraction feature is pretty amazing. It locates any labeled field on the page and its corresponding value regardless of the page layout, even if the value is handwritten. It makes SimpleIndex able to do jobs that once required enterprise data capture software like Kofax, AnyDoc, or ReadSoft, but at a fraction of the price!

SimpleIndex works with your existing AWS account. For standard OCR it costs about $0.01 per page, for invoices and forms it is about $0.065 per page. This price can vary by region.
