What Open-Capture is

Open-Capture captures documents, extracts information with OCR and AI, and exports results to management software. It accepts material from scanners, copiers, file drops, email and attachments, web forms, uploads, and web services. Extraction options include Tesseract OCR, pre-trained models, machine-learning classification, key-value extraction, reference-data matching, dictionaries, and barcode or QR-code reading. Extracted fields can be checked against rules, formats, reference data, and scripted business rules. Additional modules include Splitter for batch preparation, Verifier for checking extracted data, and MailCollect for processing email and attachments. Verifier is described for structured or semi-structured documents such as invoices, delivery notes, contracts, and purchase orders. The full-web application runs natively on Linux and can be hosted on-premise or in a public or private cloud. Listed integrations include a native MEM Courrier connector, CMIS, OpenADS/Oxalis, OpenCRM, Alfresco, and SharePoint; export formats include PDF, PDF/A, XML, CSV, and plain text. Open-Capture is free under the GNU GPLv3 license, with no limit on users.
