Unstructured Data Capture Approach

Vastly simplifies applications by eliminating the need for templates, and costly adjustments for documents coming from multiple scanning sources.

“In 2005, Captiva’s development team located in Waltham, MA, had some of the most talented and experienced OCR engineers in the entire country, including Paul Traite and Fatali Karimi, founders of AliusDoc, LLC in Waltham. So far as I know, they are the only engineers familiar with the undocumented features of Captiva’s recognition software.”
