Image Capture- Capture is the most basic building block of any imaging application. It is the process of converting hard copy paper documents to an electronic format. Typically this is done through the use of a scanner, which outputs a TIFF Group 4, JPEG, or a PDF formatted images. Recognition technology such as OCR (optical character recognition), ICR (intelligent character recognition), and IDR (intelligent document recognition) can be applied to automatically transform the static words or numbers appearing on images into data usable in other electronic applications. Following are some elements of capture:

Distributed Capture is currently one of the hottest trends in document imaging. Traditionally, scnaning has been a centalized, back-office operation - meaning all documents were typically captured at one location. The adoption of Internet technology, however, has made capturing images at branch offices and sending them digitally to a centalized server a realistic, and sometimes more cost-effective and efficient approach.
