CAPTOR (iOS) 5.0.5: Improved Camera Performance + Barcode Reader Support + More
Josh Bohls
This week we released CAPTOR (iOS) 5.0.5. Here is a quick overview of what is new and improved.
Camera Performance. There is a lot going on under the hood of the CAPTOR camera -the app does not just take photos. For every photo captured, the app processes location data, object recognition, optical character recognition, encryption, photo processing, thumbnails, file nomenclature, and more. The 5.0.5 release dramatically improves the camera performance, enabling a user to take photos faster. The increased performance is a key criteria for many of our customers, such as police officers and insurance adjustors.
Barcode Reader Support. CAPTOR has had support for reading QR Codes for many years. The app now has added support for reading other types of barcodes and symbols, including Code 39/93/128, UPC-E, EAN8, EAN13, DataMatrix-Code, and ITF14. When the app detects one of these barcode symbols in the camera preview, it will display the text string or URL and allow the user to either copy the results or open the URL with the managed browser. If your organization requires support for a barcode style that is not yet included please let us know by opening up a support ticket.
New Full-Screen Content View. CAPTOR added a new content view that displays photos, videos, audio visualizer, and documents in full screen format, allowing app users to swipe left and right to preview content within a folder. The view can be toggled between 1) Detailed View, which displays a small thumbnail with the file name, location, and time/date of capture, 2) Thumbnail View, which displays a grid of content thumbnails, and 3) Full-Screen Content View.
We hope you enjoy and appreciate the new CAPTOR features. Please continue to send us feedback and ideas for improvement. Cheers!
