CapturePoint 6 guide

From a stack of paper to filed and named.

How to get CapturePoint 6 running on your Windows PC, try it on sample documents, set it loose on your own and send every document where your team works. Cutting-edge local AI that splits, sorts, reads and names, right next to your scanner.

The CapturePoint welcome: "Your documents. Your intelligence.", a Get started button and a Take a 2-minute tour link

The first thing you see: Get started, or take a 2-minute tour.

01Before you start

What you need.

Probably nothing new. It runs on the PC you have and works with the scanner you already own.

Computer
A Windows 11 PC (64-bit) with 8 or more cores, 24 GB of memory and an SSD. A graphics card is optional and makes it faster and more accurate.
Download
An installer of about 367 MB. On first run it downloads its components once (about 6 GB).
Documents
Any TWAIN scanner, or files you already have: PDF, TIFF, JPEG, PNG, BMP and GIF.
No scanner yet?
A built-in demo scanner lets you run a full scan without any hardware.

02Your first hour

Four steps to your first filed document.

  1. 01

    Install it

    Download the free trial and run the installer. The trial starts the first time you open it, with no form to fill in.

  2. 02

    Take the 2-minute tour

    Start it from the welcome screen and do the real steps on five sample accounts payable documents. It ends in your own job.

  3. 03

    Point it at your own folder

    Give it a folder of your real documents. It works out the document types and the fields to read, on its own.

  4. 04

    Check it and send it

    Confirm what it read, then send each document where your team works, named and filed.

Try it before you touch a scanner.

When it opens, the welcome offers Get started and a 2-minute tour. The tour runs on sample documents: you do the real steps in the real workspace, and it ends in your own job.

The tour uses five sample accounts payable documents: an invoice, a purchase order, a credit memo, a W-9 and an expense report.

03How it works

It works out your document types.

Hand it a mixed folder and it sorts out what is an invoice, a statement or a packing slip, and what to pull from each one. No templates, no zones.

  • Splits a scanned stack into separate documents
  • Reads barcodes when your pages have them
  • You can still adjust any type by hand

Every field and line item, read for you.

Names, dates, totals, account numbers and full line-item tables. Anything below the confidence level you set waits for a person, with the reason shown.

  • Totals that do not add up get caught
  • Fix a field once and it remembers
  • You decide how sure it must be before it acts alone

It gets better the more it works.

CapturePoint 6 learns from every answer you confirm. Confirm one document and it can clear the others like it on its own, so your team touches less each week.

  • Learns on your own PC, from your own documents
  • Only keeps what makes it more accurate
  • Send any automatic decision back for a person to check

Where it sends

Every finished document lands where your team already looks.

Reading happens on your PC. Each document is then named and filed as a searchable PDF in your own folders or Content Central, and a job can also send it to SharePoint or OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox or Nucleus One.

  • Your own folders
  • Content Central
  • SharePoint and OneDrive
  • Google Drive
  • Dropbox
  • Nucleus One

SharePoint and OneDrive need a Microsoft 365 work or school account.

04Good habits

Six habits of teams that scan less and find more.

Scanning

Scan the whole stack at once.

Drop a full batch in the feeder. CapturePoint 6 finds where one document ends and the next begins, so nobody has to sort or insert separator pages first.

Setup

Start from your real documents.

Set up a job from a folder of the documents you actually receive, with a few of each kind. It learns your layouts instead of generic ones.

Review

Set your confidence level on purpose.

Start strict and let people check more. As it proves itself on your documents, lower the bar and let it handle more on its own.

Naming

Name files from the data.

Build folder and file names from the fields it reads, like vendor, date and invoice number, so every file lands where people expect it.

Archive

Pick the right output.

Each document can go out as a searchable PDF, or archive-grade PDF/A, with a data file holding every value it captured and a text file.

Habits

Confirm, do not retype.

When it asks, correct the field in place. Every confirmation teaches it, and retyping data somewhere else teaches it nothing.
