Falcon32 offers an imaging option for keying data from scanned images stored in single and multi-page graphic files. The program can also recognize characters printed on the scanned images and auto-fill specified fields with the data. (See the white paper for what you need to know about OCR.)

Highlights Tour Trial

Key features include:

• Input conversion for all popular image formats (TIFF, DCX, JPEG, PDF, etc.)
• Support for multi-image file formats
• Automatic image preprocessing, including flipping and deskewing
• OCR, ICR (handwriting), OMR (checkboxes), MICR, and barcode recognition
• Zone definition—define recognition zones and key-from-image zones
• Option to put the image window on top and fill the screen for heads-down data entry
• Robust keyboard orientation control as demanded by data entry experts
• Split-second response rate for displaying the next image
• Form recognition—Falcon32 can identify a predefined string of characters on an image and display the corresponding data entry application and format
• Rubber-banding—draw temporary character recognition zones on an image to capture large amounts of arbitrary information (such as a property description on a deed)
• Prerecorded OCR—record OCR on one workstation and play it back anytime on another (whether or not it has OCR capabilities). It is also faster than live OCR and can be automated
• OCR data verification—import OCR data directly to the verify operator, eliminating the data entry step for well-designed OCR forms

Whether you need key-from-image, character recognition, or both options, Falcon32 has the right package for your application.

Key-from-Image

Ideally, data entry operators would never need to take their hands off the keyboard for any reason. Now with Falcon32 and its powerful imaging option, they don’t have to. The Falcon32 imaging option has all the powerful heads-down data entry features professionals have come to expect from Falcon data entry products with all the benefits of keying from an image.

When you reach the end of one record, the software automatically displays the next image. As you enter a field, the area from which you are keying comes into view and is highlighted. A field prompt window displays the field you are currently keying. The “on top” feature places the image window on top and toggles to the data entry screen if the system detects a keying error. You can also use this feature to fill the screen with your image, mirroring the heads-down data entry experience.

Falcon32 makes key-from-image just like paper…but better!

Character Recognition

With the OCR component, Falcon32 can import data from scanned images directly into forms. Phoenix uses proven recognition technology for the highest possible accuracy rate.

These forms can then be re-keyed by an operator for an even higher degree of accuracy. Key-verifying OCR data from well-designed forms will produce the high-quality output necessary for mission-critical applications. Falcon32 can import image files directly to verify, eliminating the data entry step.

For even further control, Falcon32 built-in field edits can be applied to the data to perform all types of data calculations, register balancing, table updates, field duplication, conditional command execution, and more.

The following types of character recognition are supported:

• Machine print OCR
• DOT (draft quality dot matrix text)
• ICR (hand-printed alphanumeric text)
• Barcodes
• 2D-barcodes
• OMR (checkboxes)
• OCR, MICR (fixed pitch fonts used in banking, check handling, etc.)
• BRA (Braille)

Combined with the already feature-rich Falcon32 system these new imaging capabilities will give you the tools you need to get the fastest, most accurate results. That translates into huge cost savings for any data entry operation.
