SimpleIndex Standard Server 1M

Description

What this license is

SimpleIndex Standard, plus unattended server processing for up to 1 million pages per year, plus ABBYY FineReader OCR Server. It is the two products bought together as one license: a Standard workstation license and the Server Processing Add-on.

If you already own a SimpleIndex license, you want the Server Processing Add-on on its own instead.

What Standard does

SimpleIndex takes documents in from a scanner or from files on disk, reads index values off them, then names, separates and files them with those values attached. Barcodes, using the DTK and Atalasoft engines. Zone OCR, where you draw a box and the text inside it becomes a field. Full-page OCR. Or text parsed straight out of a PDF or an Office file, which needs no recognition at all because the text is already there.

Those values drive what happens next: the file name, where a new document starts in a continuous scan, which folder it lands in, and what gets written to your database. You build the job once, and after that it runs from one button, one command line, or on this license, from nobody at all.

What the server half adds

SimpleIndex runs as a Windows service. It watches a folder and processes what arrives, or works to a schedule, hourly through monthly, or on a short repeating interval. Nobody has to be logged in. Several jobs can run under the service at once, each with its own folder or schedule.

This license includes ABBYY FineReader OCR Server, the server-licensed build of the FineReader engine, which performs recognition on unattended runs.

Processing volume

Unattended processing is covered up to 1 million pages per year. More volume is bought in the same units, another million pages a year each. Work done by a person at the workstation is not metered.

What is included

• TWAIN scanner support, with a one-button scan and index interface
• Barcode recognition, DTK and Atalasoft engines

• File naming rules, and format rules that check a value before it is accepted
• Read and write against your own database over ODBC or OLE DB, including autofill
• Index output to a database, comma-delimited text, or XML
• Image output to searchable PDF, TIFF, or JPEG

• Blank page detection and removal, despeckle, deskew, auto-rotate
• Command line triggering
• The Workflow Manager, included with every SimpleIndex license
• Separate user and administrator logins
• Unattended processing as a Windows service, 1 million pages per year
• ABBYY FineReader OCR Server

What this license does not do

• It is not a document management system. No check-in and check-out, no retention policy, no permissions model, no approval routing. It feeds the system that does those things.
• The desktop engines are still Standard’s. Interactive zone OCR at the workstation uses Tesseract and SimpleOCR, which are accurate enough for a searchable PDF and not accurate enough to trust with a value you file by. Reading printed text reliably at the desktop is what Professional is for.
• Unattended means files, not paper. A service with nobody present cannot feed a scanner. Documents have to arrive as files.
• It is not zero configuration. A barcode job can be running the same afternoon. Anything reading text off varied layouts takes a few sessions to tune.
• Poor originals stay poor. Recognition accuracy is bounded by scan quality, and an unattended run has nobody there to notice.
• It is Windows only. There is no macOS or Linux build.
