What is Tungsten Capture?
Tungsten Capture, formerly Kofax Capture and before that Ascent Capture, is Tungsten Automation's production capture platform. It acquires paper and electronic documents in batches, cleans images with VRS, recognizes text and barcodes, and exports indexed documents and data to ECM, ERP and business systems through more than 140 connectors. TechTiera designs, upgrades, integrates and supports Tungsten Capture environments and plans migrations to TotalAgility when the time is right.

How TechTiera approaches Capture projects
How a Tungsten Capture batch flows
Every Tungsten Capture batch moves through a queue of modules defined in its batch class. Getting that queue right is where most of the accuracy and throughput gains come from:
- Scan or import from scanners, MFPs, folders or email, with VRS image processing to deskew, crop, remove noise and drop blank pages.
- Separation and classification using patch codes, barcodes, page counts or Tungsten Transformation's trainable separation.
- Recognition with zonal and full-text OCR, ICR, OMR and barcode engines.
- Validation and verification where operators confirm low-confidence fields, assisted by scripts and database lookups.
- Quality control and export to the target repository or business system through export connectors.
Stay on Capture or move to TotalAgility?
Tungsten Capture remains a strong choice for centralized, high-volume scanning operations. TotalAgility adds web-based validation, workflow, case management and cloud deployment. TechTiera's capture assessment benchmarks both against your real documents, volumes and licensing, so the decision is based on cost and accuracy rather than vendor roadmaps alone. When migration makes sense, we carry existing batch class logic forward instead of starting over.
Typical Capture use cases
- Centralized mailroom and back-file scanning
- Claims, forms and correspondence capture
- Medical records and HR file digitization
- Engineering and records-management back-file conversion
- Branch and remote office capture

Tungsten Capture FAQs
What is Tungsten Capture?
Tungsten Capture, formerly Kofax Capture and Ascent Capture, is a production document capture platform that scans or imports documents in batches, enhances images with VRS, recognizes data with OCR, ICR and barcode engines, and exports documents and data to business systems.
Is Kofax Capture still supported?
Kofax Capture continues as Tungsten Capture under Tungsten Automation. Older releases reach end of support over time, so TechTiera recommends confirming your version's support status and planning upgrades before it lapses.
What is the difference between Tungsten Capture and Tungsten Transformation?
Tungsten Capture handles batch acquisition, image processing, recognition and export. Tungsten Transformation (formerly KTM) adds intelligent classification, separation and extraction for semi-structured and unstructured documents. They are usually deployed together.
Can TechTiera migrate our Kofax Capture batch classes to TotalAgility?
Yes. TechTiera inventories batch classes, scripts and export connectors, then rebuilds them as TotalAgility capture processes and validates accuracy side by side before cut-over.
Do you support Kofax Capture Network Server (KCNS)?
Yes. TechTiera designs, upgrades and supports KCNS remote sites, synchronization and central administration.
