HTML5 Web Scanning capability

The IceViewer HTML5 comes with an HTML5 Web Scanning feature that allows users to scan and send documents from the client workstation directly into the IceViewer's database.

The IceViewer Scanning Module can be downloaded directly from the IceViewer HTML5 and installed on the Client computer with a single click.

The HTML5 Web scanning supports any TWAIN-enabled device from a web application using any HTML5 compliant browser, including Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and more.

The HTML5 Web scan is compatible with most common high-speed scanners such as Rico, Fujitsu, and Xerox and also supports desktop scanners such as HP, Brother, and Epson.

IceViewer HTML5 Content-Engine

The IceViewer Content-Engine is the heart of IceViewer HTML5, which serves every request that requires opening or saving a document. If you open, upload, or save documents, the IceViewer HTML5 Content-Engine will do the work for you.

The IceViewer HTML5 can have multiple Content-Engines, when all engine serves a different type of storage or document management system, providing endless possibilities for developers to create their engine, and connect to any document management system, no matter how customized it is.

The IceViewer HTML5 has two built-in Content-Engines: FileEngine and DatabaseEngine

The FileEngine allows users to open documents stored on the local disk, such as folders or shared network locations.
The DatabaseEngine allows users to pull documents from databases, which means the documents will never be saved to the hard drive.

The IceViewer Content-Engine comes with Events, allowing developers to subscribe to a set of IceViewer HTML5 events for audit purposes, allowing Administrators to see if a document was accessed, or modified.

Control the Entire Viewing Session from the URL

IceViewer HTML5 supports certain URL parameters, that can be used to control the entire viewing session, including the followings:

The Document to be opened
The IceViewer HTML5 User Interface
The Content-Engine to be used

When you specify the Document and the Content-Engine in the URL, the IceViewer HTML5 will retrieve the document from the designated storage or document management system managed by the given Content-Engine. This way, you can use multiple Content-Engines at the same time with IceViewer HTML5 by simply opening documents by URL.

The IceViewer HTML5 also has a predefined user interface for embedding, that can be specified in the URL, allowing developers to integrate IceViewer HTML5 into their application without writing a single line of code.

OCR, Search, and Intelligent Redact to protect sensitive information

Optical character recognition, or OCR, is a common method of digitizing printed texts, documents, sales receipts, mail or any scanned documents so that they can be electronically searched, edited, stored more compactly and displayed online.

The IceViewer HTML5 provides the possibility to transform scanned documents into editable and searchable text files, which can be conveniently viewed and shared via electronic means. The ability to instantly search through content is extremely useful, especially in an office setting that has to deal with high document inflow.

The IceViewer HTML5 comes also with a built-in feature to automatically redact sensitive information from documents using OCR.

The intelligent redact is extremely useful to redact sensitive or personal information from scanned documents before handing it over to third-parties.

IceViewer HTML5 can redact the followings automatically: Social Security number, Credit Card number, Phone number, Email address, or Date.

Annotations to easily comment and mark up documents

Additionally, the IceViewer HTML5 allows users to collaborate in threaded discussions directly within the document using the Annotation Replies feature. By replying to existing annotations, team members can provide feedback, ask questions, or offer further insights in a structured manner.
