PaperStream Capture (Pro / Pro Premium) 6.2 and PaperStream AI Updates

Faster document processing and more flexible data capture for streamlined business workflows

Version 6.2 of the PaperStream Capture Series software (PaperStream Capture Pro / PaperStream Capture Pro Premium) and the PaperStream AI(1) software for RICOH fi and SP Series image scanners are now available.

This update helps organizations streamline document-driven workflows by automating document intake, capturing data more flexibly, routing mixed document batches to the right destinations, and preparing extracted information for downstream systems. Together with improved PaperStream AI performance, the update helps users turn incoming documents into usable business data faster and with less manual effort.

Key Features

  1. Flexible data capture for diverse document formats
    2.

    PaperStream Capture Pro and Pro Premium with PaperStream AI now enable users to select the most appropriate data-capture method for each field in semi-structured forms. In addition to AI OCR, users can capture data using Barcodes, Manual Entry, or Choice Lists.

    For example, users can extract supplier names and invoice amounts with AI OCR, capture document IDs from barcodes, select internal codes from a predefined list, and manually enter information that is not printed on the document.

    By using the right capture method for each type of information, organizations can reduce data-entry errors, improve consistency, and adapt workflows to documents that vary by supplier, country, or business process.

    [Applies to: PaperStream Capture Pro/PaperStream Capture Pro Premium (Advanced Setup only)]

  2. Automated document intake from monitored folders
    3.

    PaperStream Capture Pro and Pro Premium can now monitor designated folders and automatically import image files based on a predefined schedule. The feature supports File Import and PaperStream IP Import, and monitoring continues through a Windows service even when PaperStream Capture is not running.

    This enables users to place documents from multifunction printers, shared folders, branch offices, or other systems into a designated folder and allow PaperStream Capture to import and process them automatically.

    By reducing repetitive import operations, organizations can help prevent processing delays, minimize missed documents, and support scheduled or overnight document workflows.

  3. Automatic routing for mixed document batches
    4.

    PaperStream Capture Pro and Pro Premium can recognize multiple document types within a single job and apply document-specific output settings. Users can configure different output destinations, file formats, folder names, file names, index settings, and Release API integration settings for each recognized document type.

    This allows users to scan mixed batches—such as invoices, purchase orders, delivery notes, and supporting documents—without manually sorting them before or after scanning.

    Each document can be automatically routed to the appropriate storage location, business system, or workflow, helping organizations simplify operations and standardize document handling across teams and locations.

  4. Business-ready data for downstream systems
    5.

    PaperStream Capture Pro and Pro Premium can now process and transform recognized field values before exporting them. Users can apply rules such as text replacement, data extraction, prefix or suffix addition, padding, and date-format conversion. The transformed data can be exported in CSV, XML, or TXT formats.

    This helps organizations prepare captured information in the format required by downstream systems, including ERP, accounting, document management, workflow automation, and RPA solutions.

    Instead of manually reformatting extracted data or relying on separate conversion tools, users can create data that is ready for the following business process.

  5. Enhanced PaperStream AI performance
    6.

    PaperStream AI improves processing performance for semi-structured documents, helping users complete document recognition and data extraction more quickly. Processing time for semi-structured English documents was reduced by up to approximately 40%(3).

    The improvement helps users move more quickly from incoming documents to actionable business information, particularly during busy periods when document volumes increase.

  6. Faster Local AI-OCR for structured form processing
    7.

    PaperStream Capture Pro AI-OCR 6.2 improves OCR processing speed by approximately 20–30%(4) compared with the previous version for supported languages, including English, Japanese, German, Spanish, French and Italian.

    This helps teams process high volumes of business documents more efficiently, reducing the time between scanning, data extraction, review, and follow-up actions. It is especially valuable for organizations handling structured documents such as application forms, registration forms, and survey forms.
