What's New With Datacap 9.1.8

Integration with IBM Automation Document Processing

Datacap 9.1.8 strengthens IBM’s capture and document understanding capabilities, especially when paired with IBM Automation Document Processing (ADP). The updated integration helps organizations move beyond basic OCR into more intelligent, model‑driven extraction that can handle complex, variable documents.

Currency updates to engines like Kofax, Abbyy, OCRA, OCRS, and Advanced Handwriting Recognition improve accuracy and broaden the types of content you can reliably process. At the same time, platform updates—such as dropped support for older operating systems and new browser compatibility—ensure environments remain secure and easier to maintain.
