Kofax has made available Kofax Mobile Capture with certain basic functionality for free through the iTunes App Store and Google Play.

Kofax Mobile Capture enables  cameras in those devices to capture images of documents, photographs and data, and then pass that content to Kofax workflows that manage it into enterprise applications and repositories.

With this version, Kofax provides three example processes available for demonstration and use purposes: business cards, receipts and other documents. These are in addition to the processes customers could implement after licensing the full product.

“Businesses are moving to replace scanners with smartphones and tablets,” said Drew Hyatt, Senior Vice President of Mobile Applications at Kofax.

“What makes Kofax Mobile Capture unique is that it doesn’t simply take a picture of a document but ensures that the quality of that image is sufficient for downstream processing purposes, and that it’s fully integrated with and leverages the market leading capabilities of Kofax Capture, Kofax Transformation Modules and other Kofax software products.”
