Athento Capture
Intelligent capture of
documents and content
Product Review
Athento Capture is an intelligent capture system that
works on various platforms and can be integrated with
any ECM system which implements standard CMIS. This
application facilitates the capture of documents, such as
e-mails, in electronic format, as well as any documents
which need to be digitized.
Compared to other products on the market today, Cap-
ture stands out for its ability to automate tasks such as
classifying documents and extracting data, and for its
accuracy in performing these tasks (with a 98% success
rate).
Athento’s capture process follows four steps:
1. Capture: Can be done in different ways such as by
e-mail, connecting to scanners or uploading from the
platform.
2. Image processing: Improves the characteris-
tics/quality of the image. Includes features such as
rotation, cropping and brightening the image.
3. Recognition and classification: Done with tools
such as bar codes, OCR, image comparison (Neural
Networks), color analysis (histograms) and element
detection.
4. Data extraction: Can be done with the use of
template definition, key word detection, pattern detection
and semantic analysis.
