CAPTOR (iOS) 5.0 Release Notes

Josh Bohls

CAPTOR 5.0 planned release for all iOS targets (BlackBerry Dynamics, MobileIron/Ivanti AppConnect, Microsoft InTune, and AppConfig) is early October 2023. This release represents the largest redesign in the user experience since 2017. Here are some highlights:

  • Home screen elimination. The CAPTOR home screen, which has been part of the app for ten years, is gone. The app now opens directly to the camera or the capture mode of choice (see Default Capture Mode).

  • New segmented controller menu to switch between capture modes and folders. Switching between capture modes (camera, video recorder, audio recorder, and document scanner) is now done using a new menu bar at the bottom of the screen.

  • Default Capture Mode. At first launch you will be asked to select a default capture mode (photo, doc, video, or audio). The option you select will then be the first screen you see when opening the application. You can switch this selection in the Settings menu. This may be set by app configuration policy.

  • Disable Capture Mode(s). In Settings you will have options to disable capture modes that you do not use. When you restart the app you will see any disabled modes removed from the main menu bar. These can be locked by app configuration policy as well.

  • Document Info Screen. Documents now have an Info screen just like all other media formats. Open a document and tap the “i” button to reveal capture date and other metadata.

  • Pause audio recording when CAPTOR not in focus. If an audio recording is interrupted by for example an incoming phone call, the recording will pause until you go back to CAPTOR to resume recording. The recording is reset if you have to re-authenticate.

  • Auto and Manual Exposure (photos and videos). When taking a photo or recording video in low or high light environments the app will now automatically adjust the exposure settings. For devices or cameras that do not support auto-exposure there will be a new button to manually control the exposure.

  • Video capture at 60 FPS. CAPTOR now supports up to 60 frames-per-second video capture. Some older devices still max out at 30 FPS.

  • Improvements to Import process. We have improved the speed and stability of the file import process.

  • QR Code reader incorporated in Photo Capture Mode. We have integrated the QR Code reader into photo capture mode. If the app detects a QR Code in the photo preview, an alert will appear asking if you want to open or copy the link. We now support QR Codes that reveal text strings as well.

CAPTOR (Android) 2.1.3 Release Notes

Josh Bohls

Today marks the release of Android versions of CAPTOR for Android Enterprise, BlackBerry Dynamics, and Microsoft InTune. Here is a quick look at what has changed.

Camera Quality: This version of CAPTOR includes a big upgrade to the camera quality, resulting in sharper higher resolution photos. The actual resolution varies by device, but you will see a dramatic improvement in the photo quality. As this will increase the file size and the processing time, we added a new setting where you can revert back to the older lower quality camera in that meets your business needs.

Document Scanning: This version of CAPTOR introduces an enhanced document scanning experience. CAPTOR document scanning is programmed to work best when you use a dark contrasting background. The new document scanning mode includes the ability to switch from Automatic to Manual capture. If the app has trouble finding the edges of the page, we recommend switching to Manual capture so you can complete the scan and adjust the corners as needed. You will be able to adjust the filter from color to black & white in the document preview screen.

Backup Changes: This release marks a number of bug fixes and enhancements to the CAPTOR backup service. There is a new connection status indicator that will alert the user if the connection to the backup server drops. There is also an alert if the port required to complete a backup is blocked. We also changed the logic to skip automatic backups if the settings are not completed to minimize server traffic.

Android 10 (minimum o/s support): CAPTOR 2.1.3 requires a minimum of Android 10 on the device.
