Ambir Technology, a leader in digital imaging software, releases DocuStart OCR ID Scanner software to deliver age verification, streamline business processes, reduce data entry errors and lower operating costs.
(PRWEB) September 28, 2006 -- Ambir Technology, Inc., www.ambir.com, a manufacturer of scanners, electronic signature pads and digital imaging software, releases its DocuStart™ OCR ID scanner software for reading and extracting data and images from a wide range of identity documents. Ambir’s DocuStart OCR software combines the intelligence of a proprietary OCR engine designed specifically to handle the unique needs of ID documents with a self-contained database in one powerful, easy-to-use ID scanning software package. Formats read include driver’s licenses, state ID cards, medical insurance cards, and U.S. and international passports as well as employment cards, entertainment cards, protective services cards, military IDs, U.S. pilots’ licenses, business cards, checks and many more.
“DocuStart OCR can help companies transform key business processes through quick, easy and cost effective data capture and management,” said Al Ingallinera, Ambir Technology vice president of sales and marketing. “Coupled with Ambir passport and ID scanners, and used in place of manual data entry, DocuStart OCR gives customers true power to reduce errors, accelerate processes and cut costs by quickly capturing, organizing, and storing ID data.”
How It Works
DocuStart OCR is a powerful scanning and data management application for ID cards and other identity documents. DocuStart OCR ID scanning software can be integrated into most proprietary database applications, such as patient management systems, CRM applications and CORE systems. The user-friendly DocuStart functionality is initiated by scanning cards and documents into a relational database, creating a digital record. Each record stores the ID card image, the ID card data, and additional user-defined information. The data stored in DocuStart OCR can be easily sorted, arranged, stored, retrieved and printed according to various built-in and user-defined criteria and categories. The extensive export capabilities allow users to export scanned data automatically to any other application such as Microsoft Outlook, Excel and Word, as well as email, FTP, and the Web, directly from within the program.
Other features include:
- Rapid data capture – it takes approximately 10 seconds to scan the image and OCR data from an ID card
- 2D barcode and magstripe reader capabilities deliver data verification by comparing the text scan with the 2D barcode and/or magstripe scan - providing an age verification function ideal for use in hospitality, rental, nightclub, casino and other industries
- Ability to OCR checks and MICAR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) codes
- An extensive and continually-updated database of driver’s license, state ID and numerous other identity card formats, which provides the DocuStart application with the data needed to deliver outstanding OCR accuracy; updates provided at no additional charge
- A customizable, user-friendly interface that lets users control application layout, create new data fields, categories, save and export options, as well as set automatic processes according to individual requirements
- An image auto alignment that automatically adjusts incorrect card insertion
- Customizable data output and user defined print options, including all industry standards such as various labels and paper sizes
Key Applications
DocuStart OCR is uniquely positioned to benefit any organization which currently relies on manual entry of identity document data or needs to achieve identity or age verification from ID documents. DocuStart OCR is an ideal solution for streamlining processes in: doctor’s offices, pharmacies, credit unions, banks, currency exchanges, building security/access control, casinos, hospitality, restaurants and nightclubs, equipment rental, and hotel and lodging applications. DocuStart OCR ID scanning software can be integrated into most proprietary database applications serving these markets, such as patient management systems, CRM applications and CORE systems. An SDK (software development kit) is available for developers wishing to integrate DocuStart OCR into custom proprietary software.
