Umango
The Product

More than scanning. Intelligent capture, end-to-end.

Traditional capture ends when a document is scanned. Umango starts there, capturing information at the source, understanding the content, validating critical data and routing documents and metadata into the right business system.

01 · Capture sources

One platform. Every source.

Umango gives organisations one platform for document intake across multiple channels. This makes it ideal for hybrid workplaces, distributed teams, remote branches, mobile workers and any organisation that needs consistent capture rules across different locations and devices.

MFD touch panel

Users scan, classify and validate at the device. Embedded apps on Konica Minolta, Xerox, Sharp, Ricoh, Kyocera, Toshiba, HP and more.

Browser

Capture, profile and validate documents from anywhere on the network. Drag-and-drop, scan or import - no install required.

Mobile apps

Capture images and documents from remote sites or mobile teams. Cloud-connected workflows for field operations.

TWAIN scanners

Support desktop scanning workflows alongside MFD and cloud capture. Same jobs, same rules, same destinations.

Watch folders

Automate intake from existing file locations. Network shares, SFTP and cloud folders monitored continuously.

Email inbox

Turn inbound emails and attachments into actionable data. Route by sender, subject, content or AI classification.

Cloud sources

Process documents from SharePoint, OneDrive, Google Drive, Box, Dropbox and many other cloud repositories.

REST API

Integrate third-party systems and custom portals. Push documents in, pull metadata and results out.

Legacy systems

Import metadata and images from existing DMS or ECM repositories. Migrate without losing context.

02 · AI & OCR

AI-powered document understanding.

Umango brings AI into the capture process so documents can be classified, queried, translated, analysed and processed with less template configuration. Identify fields without rigid layouts. Train custom AI document types around your own business. Ask natural language questions and get structured answers back.

"Get the employee name from this document. Then classify the document and return the values as {employee}/{classification}."

— Example AskAI prompt

Natural language is the new template. With AskAI, your team writes prompts instead of rules and Umango handles the extraction, classification or validation in the background.

  • ASK AI

  • HANDWRITING

    Recognise handwritten notes, forms and signatures across multiple languages.

03 · Convert & archive

Turn image-only documents into searchable, editable, archive-ready files.

Umango's conversion engine doesn't just OCR, it rebuilds. Tables come back as real tables. Paragraphs flow. Layouts, columns and regions are preserved exactly as they appeared on the source. The output is something you can search, edit, archive or push into any downstream system.

Searchable PDF

Make every scanned page findable. Umango embeds an invisible OCR text layer behind the original image, so the document looks identical but every word, number and field is fully searchable across your DMS, file shares and email archives.

PDF/A archive standard

Long-term retention done right. Output documents in ISO-compliant PDF/A - the format trusted by government, legal and records teams for archival preservation. Self-contained, future-proof, and audit-ready.

Fully editable output

Reconstruct image-only sources as live DOCX, RTF, XLSX or HTML. Edit, restyle, repurpose. Send tables straight to Excel. Drop transcripts into Word. No retyping, no copy-paste cleanup.

Why it matters

Most OCR throws away the page. We rebuild it.

Many tools extract text as a flat stream and call it done. Tables collapse into run-on lines. Columns merge. Headings lose their hierarchy. The output technically contains the words but it isn't usable.

Umango's engine analyses the page as a whole: detecting tables, columns, headings, lists and reading order. The result is a document that looks and behaves like the original, but is now structured data you can search, edit and act on.

  • LAYOUT
    Pixel-faithful layout

    Fonts, spacing, columns and page breaks reconstructed to match the source.

  • TABLES
    Real tables, not text grids

    Cells, rows and headers come through as live table structure, straight into XLSX or DOCX.

  • REGIONS
    Zones & regions preserved

    Multi-column layouts, sidebars and form regions are detected and recreated in order.

  • LANGUAGES
    300+ languages

    Latin, Cyrillic, CJK, Arabic, Hebrew and mixed-script documents handled natively.

  • BATCH
    Bulk back-file conversion

    Convert entire historical archives at scale. Thousands of pages per job, unattended.

  • COMPLIANCE
    Accessibility & compliance

    PDF/A outputs meet long-term retention standards. Text layers improve screen-reader accessibility.

Records teams

Digitise decades of paper into PDF/A. Searchable, indexed, compliant without rebuilding the archive from scratch.

Operations

Convert scanned supplier invoices and forms into editable spreadsheets and documents ready for reconciliation, reporting or re-use.

Knowledge work

Turn old reports, contracts and reference material into live, editable Word and HTML searchable, copyable and ready to repurpose.

04 · MFD & embedded

Embedded on the devices businesses already use.

Umango runs natively on multifunction devices from the world's leading manufacturers. A full-colour, gesture-friendly panel experience that turns the copier from a scanner into an intelligent capture and processing point.

Operators see the jobs that matter to them, kick off scans, validate data and route documents to where they need to go, all without leaving the device. Or they can start at the device and finish back at their desk - they choose.

MFD embedded apps

Make the MFD part of the workflow.

Umango extends the value of multifunction devices by turning them into intelligent capture points. Validate metadata, classify documents and route information directly from the device panel before documents reach business systems.

  • Embedded apps for major MFD brands
  • On-panel metadata validation
  • Document classification at the device
  • Browse and search back-office targets from the panel
  • Direct routing into business systems
  • Validate at the panel or back at your desk - you choose

  • Database lookups for live validation
  • Barcode, OMR and OCR support
  • Smart Seek for locating data on shifted documents
