Scanned Document Indexing
Use SimpleIndex to automate the process of assigning keyword index values to scanned documents and minimize data entry, keystrokes, and errors. SimpleIndex uses dynamic OCR with complex pattern matching to find index values anywhere on a page and/or bar codes to index scanned documents automatically.
Once captured, structured data can be used to populate a database, document management system, SharePoint, and other repositories.
SimpleIndex can simultaneously process MS Office, PDF, text, HTML and other files using the same pattern matching technology. If the file already has text, SimpleIndex uses it for increased speed and accuracy, falling back on OCR for images and scanned document indexing.

Skip to Blank Index on Save Index
If you would like to have SimpleIndex automatically go to the next page with a blank field and highlight that field when the Save Index button or Enter a change to the XML text of the Job Configuration is needed. This can be useful to quickly move to the next document that has a blank Index field.
Instructions to set Skip to Blank index on Save Index:
- Right click on the Job Configuration file that you would like to suppress the prompt on and select Open With>Notepad
- Search the XML settings text open in Notepad for this term:
<SKIP_TO_NEXT_BLANK> - Set the value between from “False” to “True”
<SKIP_TO_NEXT_BLANK>True</SKIP_TO_NEXT_BLANK> - Save and close the file.
Compare Leading Solutions
The best way to see how the SimpleIndex processing workflow compares to other leading desktop scanning solutions is to see the same process performed side-by-side in each program. Below are videos we recorded of the same batch of documents being scanned and indexed in Kofax Express™, Kodak Capture Pro™, PaperVision™ Capture Express and Office Gemini DiamondVision™. In each one we configured the software to perform the same tasks: Scan a batch of 10 pages Capture a 7-digit account number using Zone OCR Correct any fields that fail to recognize Use a database lookup to populate additional index fields Export the batch to PDF files Using our standard benchmark batch* we recorded the following processing times: SimpleIndex: 0:45 Kodak Capture Pro: 1:50 Kofax Express: 2:20 PaperVision Capture Desktop: 3:00 DiamondVision: 3:20 As you will see in the videos below, SimpleIndex provides the most efficient scanning and indexing workflow of any major document capture application.
