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 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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

SharePoint and OneDrive
Google Drive
Dropbox

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