CAPTOR 1.3.2 (Android): e-Signature, Speech Recognition, OCR, & Enhanced Search
Josh Bohls
CAPTOR 1.3.2 for Android Enterprise, BlackBerry Dynamics, and MobileIron AppConnect is releasing this week for our customers globally. This update represents a significant advancement of the CAPTOR Android user experience and brings the app more in line with iOS versions of CAPTOR.
e-Signature. Need to electronically sign a PDF document? Use CAPTOR! Your Company likely restricts which apps can open PDF files sent to your email. Since CAPTOR is a managed app it is likely approved for you to open a PDF in CAPTOR. Double-tap the page you wan to sign, and then select the new e-Signature annotation option. Draw your signature and add it to the page (you can resize the signature element as needed). CAPTOR e-Signature annotations are unique in that they automatically display the authenticated username, time/date, and the location (if enabled).
Speech Recognition (*BETA). CAPTOR Android now utilizes Speech Recognition to process audio recordings. This process may occur on Google Cloud services, therefore it is disabled by default. To enable Speech Recognition, the configuration must be added and enabled in your organization’s EMM -AND- the user will have to accept the permission when prompted in the app. This feature is currently in Beta. If you are interested in joining the test group please email Inkscreen Support.
OCR. CAPTOR Android also now utilizes Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to process photos and documents. This service identifies any text content that appear in photos or documents. For example, a photo of an employee wearing a name tag “Josh” would be tagged with that text and found later in a search. The OCR process always occurs on the device without relying on cloud services, therefore it is enabled by default for all customers.
Enhanced Search. Speech Recognition and OCR both contribute to CAPTOR Enhanced Search. You can now enter a word or phrase into the Search field, and CAPTOR will be able to find any content that includes that string. CAPTOR Search now encompasses all of the following data:
Text that appears in photos
Text that appears in documents
Speech/words detected in audio recordings
File names
Folder names
Text that appear in content notes
Text label annotations added to photos or documents
We hope you enjoy CAPTOR 1.3.2 (Android). Please share feedback and let us know how we can continue to improve the award winning CAPTOR applications.
