Data Requirements
ALCoder works with ASCII data input, output and control files. By working with this lowest common denominator format, ALCoder easily integrates into any existing system.

Processing Speed
ALCoder can process up to 10,000 documents (*approximately 50,000 pages) per hour. The fastest version of ALCoder includes ODBC capabilities for SQL database access.

(*Documents per hour derived from a five page per document average.)

System Requirements
ALCoder requires Windows XP, Server 2003 or later, and should run on Windows PCs that have at least 256 Megabytes of RAM and 1 Gigabyte of free disk space. 

There is no database server, Unix, shell environment, component library, or other extraordinary support requirements. ALCoder uses a simple database for data handling during processing. SQL server access is possible via ODBC.
