PaperStream Capture Pro is a powerful front-end capture software that transforms paper documents (or imported digital files) into clean, indexed, searchable digital data ready for document-management workflows. It supports batch scanning with any TWAIN-compatible scanner, whether a desktop model or an enterprise-grade device, and uses advanced image-processing via its integrated engine to automatically enhance scanned images, remove noise, correct skew/rotation/color issues, and improve clarity for better OCR and readability. It offers robust data-extraction capabilities; full-text OCR, zonal OCR, barcode and patch-code reading, and even optical-mark-recognition and handprint recognition for handwritten block text or checkboxes. It can extract many fields per document (for example, from forms, applications, or surveys), automatically separate documents in mixed batches (using blank pages, barcodes, patch codes, or form-template recognition), and assign metadata.

Patrivox is a European cloud platform that transforms collections of PDF documents and scanned archives into a fully searchable, AI-powered knowledge base. It allows organizations to upload large numbers of documents, individually or in bulk, and automatically processes them using advanced optical character recognition and artificial intelligence to extract text and identify important entities such as people, places, and organizations mentioned in the documents. Once processed, the platform enriches documents with metadata and links them together in an interactive knowledge graph, revealing relationships between historical records that would otherwise remain hidden. Users can explore their archives through instant full-text search with typo tolerance, advanced filters such as date or document type, or by asking natural-language questions through an AI chat interface that returns answers with exact source citations.
