Recogniform WORKGROUP Reader
Maximize efficiency and productivity
Recogniform Workgroup Reader is the client–server version of Recogniform Reader Data Capture Suite. All processing steps can take place on different stations, at the same time.
Each phase is independent; process is centrally managed by Recogniform Control Server.
TARGET: mid-large users, significant volume, high complexity documents processing.
Input
Import documents from scanner (any TWAIN driver scanner) or MFP, activate folder or mail monitoring services, get files from external software via DLL integration.
Recognition
Perform advanced image processing, documents classification and data recognition, execute crossed validation controls connecting to external files or DBMS. Each field is marked with a confidence rate (accuracy %). Recognition engines’ speed is unlimited: the faster the hardware, faster the recognition.
Verify
Verify low-confidence or wrong fields on one or more stations, thanks to a user-friendly visual interface. Specific check-rules can be configured in order to avoid errors, using lookup files and tables.
Output
Release extracted data to file (.CSV .XML .ASC .TXT .XLS etc.) or to DBMS via ADO, OLEDB, ODBC, BDE connection (Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, Access, AS400, Postgres, etc.). Processed documents can be conditionally processed before storage (resampling, format and conversion, watermarking, renaming, etc.), in order to get smaller files, or more versions of the same document (for example, the same file can be stored in PDF searchable format for archiving purpose, and in low-res JPG format for mobile visualization).
A quick overview
Manage every day complexity with a reliable and scalable solution
Meet the complex requirements of a distributed, lean, high-volume, mission-critical enterprise.

In a few words…
Recogniform Workgroup Reader is much more than a OCR software: it’s a complete document capture management system, that will allow you to optimize the capture workflow in a reliable, efficient and scalable way.
Automatic IMPORT options
Recogniform Workgroup Reader may include Recogniform Folder Monitor Service and Recogniform Mail Monitor Service optional modules.
Recogniform Folder Monitor allows to monitor one or more folders at customizable intervals: files are sent to the Control Server automatically. Each folder can be associated to a specific template.
Recogniform Mail Monitor allows to monitor one or more e-mail addresses: attached files are sent to the Control Server automatically, together with e-mail details (sender, subject, date, body). Each e-mail can be associated to a specific template.
MODULAR features
According to the type of data to extract, you can activate the specific recognition engines required. The OMR engine, for check-boxes recognition, is always included.
Optional engines available allow to enable handwritten characters recognition (ICR), printed characters recognition (OCR), 1D & 2D barcode recognition (BCR),
checks and MRZ codelines recognition (OCR-A/B, CMC7, E13B), unstructured docs processing features (FREE-FORM and LAYOUT ANALYSIS).
Process under CONTROL
In the Workgroup version, process is managed by Recogniform Control Server.
Control Server manages the flow of the batches between input, recognition, verify and output stations, according to their priority and users permissions.
Administrators can monitor the process status at any time, getting info about what has been done (and from who), and what there’s still to do.
SCALABLE architecture
The number of input and verify stations can be easily modified, according to contingency.
In peak periods, the number Input and Correction stations can be incremented up to the limit required by the purchased license.
The number of available input and verify stations can vary from 1 to UNLIMITED. Additional recognition stations require extra license purchase.
UNLIMITED documents
The number of yearly processable documents can be limited, or UNLIMITED*.
*conditions apply
In the UNLIMITED license, you can process as many documents you wish, with no pay-per-page charge.
Many of our customers process several millions of documents per year, with one license only.
LAN, VPN, WAN
Recogniform Workgroup Reader is available in two sub-versions, according to the type of network where TCP/IP connection takes place.
Recogniform Reader OFFICE version allows to work on a local area network (LAN) or on a virtual prIvate network (VPN), with no limit* to the number of installable input and verify clients.
*conditions apply
Recogniform Reader ENTERPRISE version allows to work on a wide area network (WAN), with no limit* to the number of installable input and verify clients. In a WAN, Control Server requires a public IP address.
