Captaris TIFF iFilter
For Microsoft SharePoint Server 2007, Microsoft Search Server Express and Microsoft Search Server 2008
Application Overview
The Captaris TIFF iFilter uses the powerful Captaris OCR engine to crawl SharePoint Server 2007 document libraries, lists,
shared folders, and to capture and send the results to Microsoft’s indexing engine. Once indexed, the images are ready to
be searched through SharePoint Server 2007, Search Server Express or Search Server 2008. The OCR engine benefits from our
pre-OCR clean-up features which helps improve the search results on poor or low quality images. Our pre-OCR clean-up of low
quality images improves search results and index accuracy.
