Reduce costs and increase accuracy of data whether it is captured from images or paper.
VDE+Images combines the best features of Viking's ImagEntry and VDE data entry software, allowing you to key from both images and paper with one software package.
No matter how your data is stored, your data entry operators have the same interface and features, reducing your training time, increasing productivity and reducing errors.
In addition, VDE+Images has highly specialized capabilities that make it unique among data entry systems.
Open Architecture Integrates with Existing Systems
VDE+Images has an open architecture and flexible design that makes it easy to integrate with any document imaging system. VDE+Images can be readily customized using the optional API. Custom field edits and exit routines are coded in the industry-standard C language.
Preexisting Data
VDE+Images can import preexisting data to form the basis for data records. This data can come from the scanner, bar-code readers, MICR readers, recognition engines (OCR, OMR and ICR) and other data sources. For example, the MICR data from checks can be imported into VDE+Images for wholesale lockbox applications.
Hardware Requirements
A basic PC with Windows 95, Windows NT, or Windows 3.11 is sufficient for the client workstation. High powered workstations are unnecessary. VDE+Images will work with any network, including Windows NT and Novell. The size of the monitor needed depends on the applications. Many jobs work fine with a basic 15" monitor. A 17" or 19" monitor may be required if the entire document needs to be displayed at full size or larger.
Reduce Costs and Increase Accuracy of Data Captured from Images or Paper
VDE+Images combines the best features of Viking's ImagEntry and VDE data entry software, allowing you to key from both images and paper with one software package. No matter how your data is stored, your data entry operators have the same interface and features, reducing your training time, increasing productivity and reducing errors.
Key from Images of Unstructured Documents
VDE+Images is specifically designed for those imaging applications where the location of the data is not predictable, either because the documents do not have a standard format or because there are a variety of forms that arrive in a random order.
Multiple Relationships between Images and Data Records
Most imaging systems automatically generate one record for each image. VDE+Images is unique among key-from-image (KFI) products in that it allows data records to be stored in the most useful and logical way. So you can have data from any number of images on one record, put data from one image on multiple records, or spread data from several images across several records—whatever works best for your data.
Image Manipulation
VDE+Images is designed to allow the operator to quickly and easily manipulate the image in order to locate and key the appropriate data. Hot keys let operators zoom, move, rotate and invert images with a single keystroke. They can also quickly switch from one "zone" of the image to another.
Image Sets
Many imaging applications need to group images into sets that represent the pages for a multi-page document, or know the beginning and ending images of file folders. VDE+Images has features to define the beginning of an image set and to advance to the next set.
