Document Capture Board Announces $2.5 Million Stock Repurchase Program

Buy-Back Initiative Represents 14% of Current Shares Outstanding at September 13th Closing Price

SAN JOSE, CA--( 09/14/10) - Document Capture Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB:DCMT), an IP-driven leader in the design, development, manufacture and sale of advanced imaging technologies, today announced that the Board of Directors has authorized a $2.5 million Share Repurchase Program (the "Program") of the Company's common stock.

"The Company's Board of Directors has made this decision to further enhance our ongoing mandate of delivering exceptional shareholder value," said David P. Clark, Chief Executive Officer of Document Capture.

There is no guarantee as to the exact number of shares that will be repurchased by the Company, and the Company may discontinue purchases at any time that the Board of Directors determines additional purchases are not warranted.
