HOME > Scan to Database

Data is essential in every sector of business. Not matter the field, companies rely on data accumulation and management day in and day out. When compiled, each piece of input provides companies with comprehensive databases of fundamental information that can be processed, stored, manipulated, and analyzed. Databases act as crucial repositories of information that often encompass vast sets of data. Given the mere amount of input involved, data accumulation and management can be a tedious and overwhelming task, especially when involving manual data entry, intricate spreadsheets, copious archives of documents, and clunky software.

While there are plenty of database solutions for processing and storing sets of data, such as SQL (MySQL, Access, Postgres, etc.) and NoSQL (Mongo, AWS, etc.), issues commonly arise during the processes of identifying and transferring data from raw unprocessed texts and images. Overall, data recognition and collation can be an incredibly tedious task in which small errors resulting from misreading and mismatching of input can disrupt entire database processes and outputs. Thus, the key to successful data management lies in the precision of character recognition and classification. With this in mind, we’ve tailored our solution to rigorously identify and meticulously catalog great amounts of data with accuracy in order to save you time, money, and headaches!

SimpleIndex provides an Unprecedented Control of Database Interactions

Open database integration is a powerful feature of SimpleIndex® and one that furthers its interoperability with custom programs. Instead of using a proprietary database, SimpleIndex allows you to map its index fields to cells in any database table. It can be configured to create new records, update existing ones or retrieve them for viewing. Using these three basic database functions, SimpleIndex is able to interface with and operate on any database.

How do I export index data to a database?

Wednesday, 28 February 2018 by dwilder
There are a variety of ways to connect to your database. Detailed instructions are provided in the Manual (check the Help menu). Here is a brief overview of the steps involved: -Create a job configuration to scan and index files -On the database tab, set the “Database Mode” to “Insert New Records” -To use ODBC, enter the data source name or file in Data Source -To connect directly, select your database type under “Select a Data Source” and click Start. A series of dialogs will prompt you for database connection information. -Select destination Table or View and click Reload -For each index field, select the corresponding database field that will receive that field value -The “Output File Field” will receive the path to the exported file Once you have created records in your database in “Insert” mode, you can change to “Retrieve and View Records” and use SimpleIndex or SimpleSearch to search and view the files.

I have a duplex scanner how do I set up SimpleIndex to scan 2 sided documents automatically?

Wednesday, 28 February 2018 by dwilder
Simplex versus Duplex scanning is a function of your scanner driver. SimpleIndex uses both TWAIN and ISIS drivers. ISIS drivers are faster for high-speed scanners and are preferred. To configure duplex on an ISIS scanner: 1 Select “Use ISIS Driver” from the Scan menu if it is not selected 2 If this is your first time using ISIS, click “Select a Scanner” to select the driver for your scanner 3 Click Display Scanner Settings to display the ISIS driver settings 4 Find the setting for Simplex/Duplex and set appropriately. Each scanner model has a different driver interface. Refer to your scanner’s documentation if you cannot find the duplex setting. To set the scanner settings using TWAIN: 1 Select “Use TWAIN Driver” from the Scan menu 2 If this is your first time scanning with TWAIN, click “Select a Scanner” and select your scanner 3 If “Display Scanner Settings” is not checked in the Scan menu, click it to select it 4 When

What scanners are compatible with SimpleIndex? How do I find a list?

Wednesday, 28 February 2018 by dwilder
SimpleIndex is compatible with any device that has a TWAIN or ISIS driver. This includes virtually all makes and models of scanner, as well as many specialty scanners, digital cameras and other devices. In the few instances when a scanner has a proprietary driver, it can still be used with SimpleIndex by first scanning to a folder and setting SimpleIndex‘s input to “From Folder” on the Input tab. For many high-speed scanners (over 50 pages/minute), ISIS drivers provide improved throughput versus TWAIN. It is recommended you purchase the ISIS driver option with these scanners. ISIS drivers also let you save your scanner settings to a file that can be distributed with your SimpleIndex configuration. You can find more information on selecting the best scanner for your specific requirements on the ScanStore Scanners Guide, as well as a wide assortment of scanners available for purchase.

How do I configure SimpleIndex to scan documents?

Wednesday, 28 February 2018 by dwilder
First make sure that you scanner’s TWAIN driver (found on the included CD or manufacturer website) is installed and that the scanner shows up in the ‘Scanners and Cameras’ section of the ‘Control Panel’. On the Batch tab of Job Options change the Input Files From setting from Folder to Scanner. With this option set, the scanner automatically starts when you click the Run Job button to process a new batch. From the Scan menu you have the option to select your scanner, set compression settings, display or hide the scanner’s TWAIN settings interface or have SimpleIndex prompt the user when the feeder is empty. The Scan to Input Folder command in the Scan menu lets you separate the scanning from processing. Use this to scan a sample image to draw OCR zones. Images are scanned to numbered TIFF images in the designated Input Folder.

TWAIN and ISIS Scanning

Tuesday, 23 January 2018 by Simple Software
SimpleIndex works with all TWAIN and ISIS document scanners.   Virtually all document scanners support both the TWAIN and ISIS driver standards. TWAIN is more common and is usually the only driver provided with consumer scanner models. ISIS is the unfortunately named driver standard developed by Pixel Translations years before the acronym (which stands for “Image and Scanner Interface Specification”) had any jihadist connotations. ISIS provides a more standardized interface for high-speed scanners, and is often required to scan at the scanners rated speed. TWAIN scanning is supported in all versions of SimpleIndex. Support for ISIS is included with SimpleIndex Professional and available as an Add-on for other versions. ISIS is recommended for high-speed document scanners, or applications that require central management of scanner settings. ISIS driver settings are saved in your SimpleIndex job file so e
