A wide variety of service industries use digital photographs as an extremely useful and valuable resource. For example, a mortgage company will take pictures of various properties or an insurance company will capture the scene of an accident. Having an image as a reference provides reliable information that is beneficial throughout many different fields. However, the process of capturing, identifying and distributing an assortment of images can be a difficult task, especially when handling a large amount of pictures. FabSoft’s SnapDoc simplifies this process by automating the organization of images taken with a Ricoh 500SE digital camera with their metadata and enabling them to be effortlessly distributed to printers, fax, email and archive systems. What's more, searches can be performed in order to quickly and easily retrieve specific images.
SnapDoc works by using a form that has a unique barcode(s) and metadata with Ricoh's 500SE digital camera equipped with barcode scanning capabilities. The metadata on the form includes information such as names, fax numbers, or email addresses, and is used in order to distribute the worksheet to printers, fax, and email systems. It is also used to index the worksheet to digital archive systems. |
