DocuLex announced a new document management tool that uses 2-dimensional barcoding to ease document profile capture and content indexing.

Called Goby Capture, the tool uses 2-D barcodes to enable documents to be profiled and cataloged prior to scanning. It lets users add user-defined content and indexing criteria themselves into the 2-D barcodes, and it includes the ability to select previously entered values, save, delete and recall field property forms, merge print field data, and add caption fields and date-and-time designations.

Doculex says Goby Capture is easy to use. Users type in a document profile and then print the profile with their local desktop laser printer or MFP. Then, they scan the document along with the printed profile sheet, which looks much like a fax cover page.

Once scanned, the document goes into the Goby Capture Monitor, which recognizes the 2-D barcode on the sheet, fully indexes the accompanied document, names the file and forwards a fully searchable PDF file to the user-defined destination. Doculex said that destination may be one or many locations, including FTP address, e-mail, printer, network, local folder and the user’s desktop. The company said the tool works seamlessly with most document management systems, including its own DocuLex WebSearch.
