Snowbound Software Offers Text Extraction Options For Development of Content Aggregation Application

Snowbound Software, provider of performance-driven imaging solutions, introduced several enhanced options for its RasterMaster Imaging SDK to help streamline content aggregation processes. By enabling content from Microsoft Word, AFP, and PCL files to be batch extracted developers can create extremely powerful content aggregation tools for asset and content management applications.

After the text and formatting data is extracted from Microsoft Word, AFP, or PCL files, the data streams can be imported directly into a variety of databases. The content can then be easily repurposed for publishing, archiving, or searching. Batch extraction eliminates old-fashioned manual processes of cutting and pasting information, thereby greatly reducing the amount of time it takes to gather and populate databases with document content. In addition to the large time savings, it also reduces the potential for errors since the content is automatically extracted without manual intervention.

“Because we work closely with industry-leading content and document management providers and integrators, we understand the impact associated with the new federal regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley,” commented Simon Wieczner, president and CEO of Snowbound Software. “It has become a necessity for such companies to deploy enterprise-wide content and document management systems for regulatory compliance. Our new extraction/conversion capability helps to expedite the mission-critical, yet time-consuming and arduous task normally associated with content aggregation.”

The options are available for the Windows platform including Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP, and Server 2003, and will soon be available for the Java Platform. For more information about our RasterMaster family of imaging toolkits or our applications, please visit http://www.snowbound.com.
