This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by and on behalf of the Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”) of Document Capture Technologies, Inc. (the “Company” or “Document Capture”) of proxies to be voted at the 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held at 11:00 a.m., Eastern Standard Time, on Friday, November 16, 2012 at One Penn Plaza, New York, New York 10119 and at any adjournments thereof (the “Annual Meeting”). The Annual Meeting has been called to consider and take action on the following proposals: (i) To elect six Directors to the Board of Directors to serve until the 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or until their successors have been duly elected or appointed and qualified; (ii) To vote on the approval of a contingent amendment to Article Fourth of the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding common stock, (iii) To appoint Hein & Associates LLP, to serve as the Company’s independent auditors for the year ended December 31, 2012; and (iv) To consider and take action upon such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournments thereof.

The Board of Directors knows of no other matters to be presented for action at the Annual Meeting. However, if any other matters properly come before the Annual Meeting, the persons named in the proxy will vote on such other matters and/or for other nominees in accordance with their best judgment. The Company’s Board of Directors recommends that the stockholders vote in favor of each of the proposals. Only holders of record of common stock, $.001 par value (the “Common Stock”), of the Company at the close of business on October 25, 2012 (the “Record Date”) will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 4255 Burton Drive, Santa Clara, California 95054 and its telephone number is (408) 436-9888. The approximate date on which this Proxy Statement, the proxy card and other accompanying materials are first being sent or given to stockholders is approximately November __, 2012. A copy of the Company’s Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 is enclosed with these materials, but should not be considered proxy solicitation material.

INFORMATION CONCERNING SOLICITATION AND VOTING

As of the Record Date, there were 22,076,976 outstanding shares of Common Stock, each share entitled to one vote on each matter to be voted on at the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, the Company had approximately 365 holders of record of Common Stock. Only holders of shares of Common Stock on the Record Date will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. The holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote on all matters presented at the meeting for each share held of record. The presence in person or by proxy of holders of record of a majority of the shares outstanding and entitled to vote as of the Record Date shall be required for a quorum to transact business at the Annual Meeting. If a quorum should not be present, the Annual Meeting may be adjourned until a quorum is obtained.

1

Each nominee to be elected as a director named in Proposal 1 must receive the vote of a plurality of the votes of the shares of Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting. For the purposes of election of directors, although abstentions will count toward the presence of a quorum, they will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote. Brokers who hold shares in street name may not vote on behalf of beneficial owners with respect to Proposal 1.  

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting is required for the approval of each of Proposals 2 and 3. For purposes of approval of each of Proposals 2 and 3, abstentions will not be counted as votes entitled to be cast on each of these matters and will have no effect on the result of the vote. “Broker non-votes,” which occur when brokers are prohibited from exercising discretionary voting authority for beneficial owners who have not provided voting instructions, will not be counted for the purpose of determining the number of shares present in person or by proxy on each of Proposals 2 and 3 and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote. Brokers who hold shares in street name may not vote on behalf of beneficial owners with respect to Proposal 2.  

To avoid a broker non-vote of your shares on the election of directors and the contingent amendment to Article Fourth of the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding common stock, which are non-routine matters, you must provide voting instructions to your broker or other nominee.

The expense of preparing, printing and mailing this Proxy Statement, exhibits and the proxies solicited hereby will be borne by the Company. In addition to the use of the mails, proxies may be solicited by officers and directors and regular employees of the Company, without additional remuneration, by personal interviews, telephone or facsimile transmission. The Company will also request brokerage firms, nominees, custodians and fiduciaries to forward proxy materials to the beneficial owners of shares of Common Stock held of record and will provide reimbursements for the cost of forwarding the material in accordance with customary charges.

Proxies given by stockholders of record for use at the Annual Meeting may be revoked at any time prior to the exercise of the powers conferred. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, stockholders of record giving a proxy may revoke the proxy by an instrument in writing, executed by the stockholder or his attorney authorized in writing or, if the stockholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal, by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized, and deposited either at the corporate headquarters of the Company at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Annual Meeting, or any adjournments thereof, at which the proxy is to be used, or with the chairman of such Annual Meeting on the day of the Annual Meeting or adjournments thereof, and upon either of such deposits the proxy is revoked. Stockholders attending the meeting may revote their proxies at the meeting.

ALL PROXIES RECEIVED WILL BE VOTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CHOICES SPECIFIED ON SUCH PROXIES. PROXIES WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOR OF A PROPOSAL IF NO CONTRARY SPECIFICATION IS MADE. ALL VALID PROXIES OBTAINED WILL BE VOTED AT THE DISCRETION OF THE PERSONS NAMED IN THE PROXY WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER BUSINESS THAT MAY COME BEFORE THE ANNUAL MEETING.

Proposals 1, 2 and 3 do not give rise to any statutory right of a stockholder to dissent and obtain the appraisal of or payment for such stockholder’s shares.

Audit Committee and Financial Expert

DCT’s Audit Committee was established on January 20, 2009 with all of DCT’s independent directors. Subsequent to that date, the Audit Committee began assisting the Board in its general oversight of financial reporting and internal controls, and is responsible for the appointment, retention, compensation, and oversight of the work of our independent registered public accounting firm. At DCT’s Annual Shareholders’ meeting held on September 14, 2009, our independent financial expert and Audit Committee Chair was not re-elected to our Board of Directors. From that date until June 8, 2010, when a new financial expert was appointed to our board, our entire Board acted as our Audit Committee. Effective June 8, 2010, Roseann Larson was appointed our Audit Committee Chair, and each of Messrs. Straw and Hu are members of the Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee charter is attached to DCT’s 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K at Exhibit 99.1. The Audit Committee assesses the adequacy of its charter on an annual basis.

The Compensation Committee charter is attached to DCT’s 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K at Exhibit 99.2. The Compensation Committee assesses the adequacy of the charter on an annual basis.

Nominating Committee

At this time, we do not have a separate nominating committee as this function is performed by our full Board of Directors. Our entire Board of Directors is active in the nominating process. Nominations for election to the Board of Directors may be made by the Board of Directors or by any shareholder entitled to vote for the election of directors. The Board of Directors carefully considers nominees regardless of whether they are nominated by shareholders or existing board-members.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires that our directors and executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our common stock (referred to herein as the “reporting persons”) file with the SEC various reports as to their ownership of and activities relating to our common stock.  Such reporting persons are required by the SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file.  Based solely upon a review of copies of Section 16(a) reports and representations received by us from reporting persons, and without conducting any independent investigation of our own, in 2011, we believe all Forms 3, 4 and 5 were timely filed with the SEC by such reporting persons.

During the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, DCT recorded net sales totaling $11,000 and $246,000, respectively, for finished scanners sold to Scanner Manufacturers. The related cost of goods sold was $10,000 and $207,000 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. All sales to Scanner Manufacturers contained similar terms and conditions as for other transactions of this nature entered into by DCT.

The above sales were all made under an exclusive license agreement between DCT and Scanner Manufacturers, which was terminated by DCT during the second quarter of 2011.

Consulting Services Provided by Members of the Board of Directors

In February 2011, DCT entered into a month-to-month product development arrangement with Darwin Hu, a current member of DCT’s board of directors, whereby Mr. Hu assisted DCT with expanding the current product offering. Pursuant to the arrangement, Mr. Hu was paid $83,000 during the year ended December 31, 2011. As a result of hiring a full time chief technology officer, DCT terminated its consulting arrangement with Mr. Hu, effective October 31, 2011. Mr. Hu continues to serve as a director on DCT’s board of directors.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, DCT paid $11,000 to CSO on Call, LLC (“CSO”), a company owned by Roseann Larson, who is a current member of DCT’s board of directors. CSO was engaged by DCT’s board of directors for the purpose of providing strategic guidance to the board of directors related to DCT’s current operations.

Legal Services Agreement

During September 2009, DCT entered into a legal services agreement (“Agreement”) with Jody R. Samuels, a director of the Company.  Pursuant to the Agreement, Mr. Samuels will provide certain legal services to us which will consist of assisting the Company in (i) the preparation of its periodic and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including proxy statements, special and annual meetings of shareholders, (ii) the negotiation of financing and corporate development transactions, (iii) preparation and review of documentation related to financing arrangements and corporate development transactions, (iv) preparing registration statements, and responding to any SEC inquiries/comment letters, (v) documenting corporate governance policies and procedures, and (vi) any other legal matters reasonably within the legal expertise of Mr. Samuels.

Pursuant to the Agreement, Mr. Samuels is paid $4,000 per month for a total of $48,000 during the year ended December 31, 2011 and $48,000 during the year ended December 31, 2010. The Agreement may be cancelled by either party with 30 days prior written notice.

17

Agreement to License Office Space

During April 2010, DCT entered into a two-year license agreement (“License”) with Beau Dietl & Associates(“BDA”) to license office space from BDA in New York City. The License can be cancelled by either party with 90 days written notice. DCT uses the office space for all meetings of the board of directors and all shareholder meetings. In connection with the License, the Company paid BDA an upfront license fee of $50,000 as payment in full. The $50,000 payment was capitalized and is being amortized, using the straight-line method, to selling, general and administrative expense over the term of the License.

In connection with the License, DCT recorded rent expense of $25,000 and $17,000 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

During September 2011, the Company’s board of directors appointed Mr. Dietl to serve as its Chairman of the board of directors. 

During December 2011, DCT’s Audit Committee approved a one-year extension of the License. In connection with the extension, DCT paid BDA $12,500. The $12,500 payment was capitalized and will be amortized, using the straight-line method, to selling, general and administrative expense over the term of the License extension. The amended License extends through April 2013.

Consulting Agreement

During September 2010, the Company entered an agreement with a consulting company to assist DCT expand its sales. When the agreement was entered into, the owner of the consulting company held approximately one percent of DCT’s outstanding common stock. Upon execution of the agreement, DCT paid $400,000, which was recorded as selling, general and administrative expense during the year ended December 31, 2010, as services were fully rendered at the time of payment.

Revised Consulting Agreements

In July 2008, DCT’s board of directors approved a business advisory and consulting agreement between the Company and each of Richard Dietl (“Dietl Contract”) and Daniel DelGiorno (“DelGiorno Contract”). Both Mr. Dietl and Mr. DelGiorno own DCT common stock.

In August 2009, DCT’s board of directors approved an amendment to the Dietl Contract, whereby DCT made a one-time cash payment of $30,000 in exchange for the return of 275,000 non-qualified stock options which were originally granted under the Dietl Contract.

In April 2010, DCT’s board of directors approved an amendment to the Dietl Contract and the DelGiorno Contract. In addition to the services contracted within the original agreements, Mr. Dietl and Mr. DelGiorno will provide investor relations services in exchange for options to purchase up to 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.30 per share. On the grant date, the total fair value of such options was $435,000 using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The options vest over a two year period with 50% of such options vesting at the end of the first and second years of the agreement; however, in the event of a change of control in the Company’s securities or assets pursuant to introductions specifically made by Mr. Dietl and Mr. DelGiorno to the Company, all of the options shall immediately vest 100% in conjunction with such event. A change of control shall be defined as a change of ownership of 50% or more of the Company’s securities, or voting control thereof, or a transfer of more than 50% of the Company’s tangible and/or intangible assets.

18

Reimbursed Expenses

During the year ended December 31, 2010, DCT reimbursed expenses incurred by related-party consultants totaling approximately $4,400. DCT did not reimburse any expenses incurred by related-party consultants during the year ended December 31, 2011.

Director Independence

As of December 31, 2011, all directors with the exception of Mr. Clark qualify as “independent” in accordance with Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. Mr. Clark does not qualify as independent because he is a DCT employee.

Other than those described above, we have no material transactions which involved or are planned to involve a direct or indirect interest of a director, executive officer, greater than 5% stockholder or any family member of such parties.

We believe that all of the transactions set forth above were made on terms no less favorable to us than could have been obtained from unaffiliated third parties.  All future transactions between us and our officers, directors and principal shareholders and their affiliates will be on terms no less favorable than could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties and will be approved by the independent members of our board of directors.

PROPOSAL 2

REVERSE STOCK SPLIT OF THE COMPANY’S COMMON STOCK AND

AMENDMENT TO THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO EFFECT THE REVERSE STOCK

SPLIT OF THE COMPANY’S OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK

The Board is recommending that the shareholders approve the Board’s authority to effectuate a reverse stock split of the Company’s Common Stock, at such time that the Board deems it to be in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders, with the primary intent of increasing the per share price of the Common Stock in order to make the Common Stock more attractive to a broader range of institutional and other investors. Accordingly, for these and the other reasons discussed below, the Board believes that authorizing the Board to effect the reverse stock split, in the Board’s discretion, is in the Company’s and the Company’s stockholders’ best interests.

Therefore, the Board of Directors has decided that it is in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders to (a) authorize the Board of Directors of the Company to effect, in its discretion prior to November 15, 2013, a one time reverse stock split of the outstanding Common Stock, par value $0.001, at a reverse stock split ratio ranging from 1-for-2 to 1-for-5, as determined by the Board of Directors, and (b) approve a corresponding amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, in substantially the form attached to this Proxy Statement as Annex A, to effect the reverse stock split, subject to the Board of Director’s authority to abandon such amendment. Upon the effectiveness (the “Effective Time”) of the Amendment to Certificate of Incorporation effecting the reverse stock split, the issued shares of the Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time will be reclassified into a smaller number of shares such that a stockholder will own one new share of the Common Stock for each 2 to 5 shares of issued common stock held by that stockholder immediately prior to the Effective Time. The exact split ratio within the 1-for-2 to 1-for-5 range will be determined by the Board of Directors prior to the Effective Time and will be publicly announced by the Company.

The Board of Directors believes that stockholder approval of an exchange ratio range (rather than an exact exchange ratio) provides the Board with maximum flexibility to achieve the purposes of the reverse stock split. If the stockholders approve this proposal, the Board would effect the reverse stock split and cause the Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware only if the Board determines that the reverse stock split would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The Board may determine in its discretion not to effect any reverse stock split and not to file the amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation. No further action on the part of the stockholders will be required to either implement or abandon the reverse stock split.

Reverse Stock Split

The Common Stock is traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) under the symbol “DCMT.” The closing price of the Common Stock on the OTCBB on October 17, 2012, was $0.23; and during the period January 1, 2012 through October 17, 2012 ranged from a low of $0.15 to a high of $0.63.

The Company may determine that it is in the stockholders’ best interests to list on a major stock exchange such as the AMEX NYSE Equities (“AMEX”) market or NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”). Many major stock exchanges, including AMEX and NASDAQ, have listing criteria that require companies to satisfy minimum average closing prices, among other criteria, over a threshold amount during a consecutive trading period in order to gain or maintain listing eligibility. NASDAQ and AMEX, for example, currently require that a company’s common stock have an average closing price that is greater than or equal to $3.00 per share over any consecutive 30 trading-day period in order to list on their exchange. The reverse stock split would give the Company additional flexibility and ability to reach these levels.

In addition to increasing the per share price of the Common Stock to be listed on a major stock exchange, the Board of Directors also believes that the reverse stock split would, if completed, make the Common Stock more attractive to a broader range of institutional and other investors, as the Company has been advised that the current market price of the Common Stock may affect its acceptability to certain institutional investors, professional investors and other members of the investing public. Many brokerage houses and institutional investors have internal policies and practices that either prohibit them from investing in low-priced stocks or tend to discourage individual brokers from recommending low-priced stocks to their customers. In addition, some of those policies and practices may function to make the processing of trades in low-priced stocks economically unattractive to brokers. Moreover, because brokers’ commissions on low-priced stocks generally represent a higher percentage of the stock price than commissions on higher-priced stocks, the current average price per share of common stock can result in individual stockholders paying transaction costs representing a higher percentage of their total share value than would be the case if the share price were substantially higher, which can also reduce interest in the Common Stock.

20

The Board of Directors is aware that reverse stock splits of stocks with low per share price in the absence of buying demand can result in selling pressure that drives the total market capitalization of the Company much lower. Reducing the number of outstanding shares of the Common Stock through the reverse stock split is intended, absent other factors, to increase the per share market price of the Common Stock. However, other factors, such as the Company’s financial results, market conditions and the market perception of the Company’s business may harm the market price of the Common Stock. As a result, there can be no assurance that the reverse stock split, if completed, will result in the intended benefits described above, that the market price of the Common Stock will increase following the reverse stock split or that the market price of the Common Stock will remain at such higher value for any significant length of time.

For illustrative purposes only, the following table shows approximately the effect on our common stock of the various potential reverse stock splits:

	Prior to Reverse Stock Split	After Reverse Stock Split
		1-for-2	1-for-3	1-for-4	1-for-5
Authorized	50,000,000	50,000,000	50,000,000	50,000,000	50,000,000
Issued and Outstanding	22,076,976	11,038,488	7,358,992	5,519,244	4,415,396
Available for future issuance	27,923,024	38,961,512	42,641,008	44,480,756	45,584,604

Based on stock information as of the record date, after completion of the reverse stock split we will have approximately 38,961,512 to 45,584,604 shares of authorized but unissued shares of common stock (depending on the ratio of the reverse split). These additional shares would be available from time to time for corporate purposes including raising additional capital, acquisitions of companies or assets, for strategic transactions, including a sale of all or a portion of the company, and sales of stock or securities convertible into common stock. We currently have no present intention, plan, arrangement or agreement, written or oral, to issue shares of our common stock for any purpose, except for the issuance of shares of common stock upon the exercise of outstanding options or warrants to purchase our common stock. Although we have no present intention to issue shares of common stock, except as noted above, we may in the future raise funds through the issuance of common stock when conditions are favorable, even if we do not have an immediate need for additional capital at such time. We believe that the availability of the additional shares will provide us with the flexibility to meet business needs as they arise, to take advantage of favorable opportunities and to respond to a changing corporate environment. If we issue additional shares, the ownership interests of holders of our common stock may be diluted.

Board Discretion to Implement the Reverse Stock Split

Upon receipt of stockholder approval, the Board of Directors, in its discretion prior to November 15, 2013, may or may not elect to effect a reverse stock split within the authorized range of ratios. The Company believes the availability of a range of reverse stock split ratios will provide it with the flexibility to implement the reverse stock split in a manner designed to maximize the anticipated benefits for the Company and the Company’s stockholders.

21

In determining the reverse stock split ratio to implement, if any, following the receipt of stockholder approval, the Board may consider, among other factors:

• the historical trading price and trading volume of the Common Stock;

• the then-prevailing trading price and trading volume of the Common Stock and the anticipated impact of the reverse stock split on the trading market for the Common Stock;

• the Company’s satisfaction of the requirements, and ability, to list on a major stock exchange; and

• prevailing general market conditions.

No further action on the part of stockholders will be required to either implement or abandon the reverse stock split. If the proposal is approved by stockholders and the Board determines to implement the reverse stock split, the Company would communicate to the public, prior to the Effective Time of the reverse stock split, additional details regarding the reverse stock split (including the final reverse stock split ratio, as determined by the Board of Directors). The Board of Directors reserves the right to elect not to proceed with the reverse stock split if it determines, in its sole discretion, that the proposal is no longer in the best interests of the Company or its stockholders.

Certain Risks Associated with the Reverse Stock Split

There can be no assurance that following the reverse stock split the market price of the Common Stock will increase in proportion to the reduction in the number of shares of the Common Stock issued and outstanding before the proposed reverse stock split. Even if the Company effects a reverse stock split, the market price of the Common Stock and the Company’s market capitalization may decrease due to the reverse split or for other reasons related to the Company or the Company’s industry, the economy or the stock market in general.

Impact of the Proposed Reverse Stock Split If Implemented

The reverse stock split would affect all of the Company’s stockholders uniformly and would not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership interest or proportionate voting power, except with respect to the manner in which fractional shares will be treated in connection with the reverse split. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse split. Shareholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive fractional shares as a result of the reverse split will have the number of new shares to which they are entitled rounded to the nearest whole number of shares. The number of new shares will be rounded up if the fractional share is equal to or greater than 0.5 and rounded down if the fraction is less than 0.5. No shareholders will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares.

The other principal effects of the reverse stock split will be that:

• the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock will be reduced proportionately based on the final reverse stock split ratio as determined by the Board;

• based on the final reverse stock split ratio, the per share exercise price of all outstanding option awards and warrants will be increased proportionately and the number of shares of the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding option awards and warrants will be reduced proportionately. These adjustments will result in approximately the same aggregate exercise price being required to be paid for all outstanding option awards and warrants upon exercise, although the aggregate number of shares issuable upon the exercise of such option awards and will be reduced proportionately following the reverse stock split;

• the number of shares reserved for issuance and any maximum number of shares with respect to which equity awards may be granted to any participant under the Company’s equity-based compensation plans will be reduced proportionately based on the final reverse stock split ratio; and

• in addition, the reverse stock split will likely increase the number of stockholders who own odd lots (less than 100 shares). Stockholders who hold odd lots may experience an increase in the cost of selling their shares and may have greater difficulty in executing sales.

22

Fractional Shares

No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse split. Shareholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive fractional shares as a result of the reverse split will have the number of new shares to which they are entitled rounded to the nearest whole number of shares. The number of new shares will be rounded up if the fractional share is equal to or greater than 0.5 and rounded down if the fraction is less than 0.5. No shareholders will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares.

Effect on Registered and Beneficial Stockholders

Upon the reverse stock split, the Company intends to treat stockholders holding shares of the Common Stock in “street name” (that is, held through a bank, broker or other nominee) in the same manner as registered stockholders whose shares of the Common Stock are registered in their names. Banks, brokers or other nominees will be instructed to effect the reverse stock split for their beneficial holders holding shares of the Common Stock in “street name;” however, these banks, brokers or other nominees may apply their own specific procedures for processing the reverse stock split. If you hold your shares of the Common Stock with a bank, broker or other nominee, and have any questions in this regard, the Company encourages you to contact your nominee.

Effect on Registered “Book-Entry” Stockholders

The Company’s registered stockholders may hold some or all of their shares electronically in book-entry form. These stockholders will not have stock certificates evidencing their ownership of the Common Stock. They are, however, provided with a statement reflecting the number of shares of the Common Stock registered in their accounts.

• If you hold registered shares of the Common Stock in a book-entry form, you do not need to take any action to receive your post-reverse stock split shares of the Common Stock in registered book-entry form.

• If you are entitled to post-reverse stock split shares of the Common Stock, a transaction statement will automatically be sent to your address of record as soon as practicable after the effective date of the reverse stock split indicating the number of shares of the Common Stock you hold.

Effect on Registered Certificated Shares

Some registered stockholders hold their shares of the Common Stock in certificate form. If any of your shares of the Common Stock are held in certificate form, you will not be required to exchange them for new certificates. Upon a sale, transfer or other transaction related to your shares, a new certificate representing the reduced number of shares will be issued in certificate form, subject to any rounding up or down for fractional shares resulting from the reverse split.

Beginning on the effective date of the reverse stock split, each certificate representing pre-reverse stock split shares will be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of post-reverse stock split shares. STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY ANY SHARE CERTIFICATE(S) AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY CERTIFICATE(S) UNTIL REQUESTED TO DO SO.

Accounting Consequences

The par value per share of the Common Stock will remain unchanged at $0.001 per share after the reverse stock split. As a result, on the Effective Date of the reverse stock split, if any, the stated capital on the Company’s balance sheet attributable to the Common Stock will be reduced proportionately based on the final reverse stock split ratio determined by the Board, from its present amount, and the additional paid-in capital account shall be credited with the amount by which the stated capital is reduced. After the reverse stock split, net income or loss per share, and other per share amounts will be increased because there will be fewer shares of the Common Stock outstanding. In future financial statements, net income or loss per share and other per share amounts for periods ending before the reverse stock split would be recast to give retroactive effect to the reverse stock split. As described above under “Impact of the Proposed Reverse Stock Split If Implemented,” the per share exercise price of outstanding option awards would increase proportionately, and the number of shares of the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options would decrease proportionately, in each case based on the final reverse stock split ratio. The Company does not anticipate that any other accounting consequences would arise as a result of the reverse stock split.

23

No Appraisal Rights

Stockholders will not have dissenters’ or appraisal rights under Delaware corporate law or under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation in connection with the proposed reverse stock split.

Amendment to Certificate of Incorporation

The form of the proposed amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to effect the reverse stock split is attached to this Proxy Statement as Annex A. If the reverse stock split is completed, the amendment will effect a reverse stock split of the Common Stock at the ratio selected by the Board in its discretion. As of October 25, 2012, 22,076,976 shares of the Common Stock were issued and outstanding.

Procedure for Effecting Reverse Stock Split

If the stockholders approve the proposal and the Board decides to implement the reverse stock split, the reverse stock split will become effective at the Effective Time. Beginning at the Effective Time, each certificate representing pre-reverse stock split shares of the Common Stock will be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of post-reverse stock split shares of the Common Stock.

Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Stock Split

The following is a discussion of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the reverse stock split to U.S. holders (as defined below). This discussion is included for general information purposes only and does not purport to address all aspects of U.S. federal income tax law that may be relevant to U.S. holders in light of their particular circumstances. This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and current Treasury regulations, administrative rulings and court decisions, all of which are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis, and any such change could affect the continuing validity of this discussion.

All stockholders are urged to consult with their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of the reverse stock split. This discussion does not address the tax consequences to stockholders that are subject to special tax rules, such as banks, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, personal holding companies, U.S. holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, partnerships (or other flow-through entities for U.S. federal income purposes and their partners or members), persons who acquired their shares in connection with employment or other performance of services, broker-dealers, foreign entities, nonresident alien individuals and tax-exempt entities. This summary also assumes that the pre-reverse stock split shares were, and the post-reverse stock split shares will be, held as a “capital asset,” as defined in Section 1221 of the Code.

As used herein, the term “U.S. holder” means a holder that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

• an individual citizen or resident of the United States;

• a corporation or other entity taxed as a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof;

• an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or

• a trust (A) if a U.S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more “U.S. persons” (as defined in the Code) have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (B) that has a valid election in effect to be treated as a U.S. person.

No gain or loss should be recognized by a U.S. holder upon the exchange of pre-reverse stock split shares for post-reverse stock split shares. The aggregate tax basis of the post-reverse stock split shares should be the same as the aggregate tax basis of the pre-reverse stock split shares exchanged in the reverse stock split. A stockholder’s holding period in the post-reverse stock split shares should include the period during which the stockholder held the pre-reverse stock split shares exchanged in the reverse stock split.

24

Our view regarding the tax consequence of the reverse stock split is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or the courts. Accordingly, each stockholder should consult with such stockholder's own tax advisor with respect to all of the potential tax consequences to such stockholder of the reverse stock split.

Required Vote

The affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is required to approve the Company’s proposal to (a) authorize the Board to effect, in its discretion prior to November 15, 2013, a reverse stock split of the outstanding common stock, par value $0.001, of the Company, at a reverse stock split ratio ranging from 1-for-2 to 1-for-5, as determined by the Board and publicly announced by the Company, and (b) approve a corresponding amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, in substantially the form attached to this Proxy Statement as Annex A, to effect the reverse stock split, subject to the Board’s authority to abandon such amendment.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR this proposal.

Stockholder Proposals for 2013 Annual Meeting and General Communications

Any stockholder proposals intended to be presented at the Company’s 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders must be received by the Company at its office in Santa Clara, California on or before March 31, 2013 in order to be considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement and proxy relating to such meeting. The Company has received no stockholders nominations or proposals for the 2012 Annual Meeting.

Stockholders may communicate their comments or concerns about any other matter to the Board of Directors by mailing a letter to the attention of the Board of Directors c/o the Company at its office in Santa Clara, California.

Voting of Proxies

Proxies may be revoked by stockholders at any time prior to the voting thereof by giving notice of revocation in writing to the Secretary of the Company or in person at the Annual Meeting. If the enclosed proxy is properly signed, dated and returned, the Common Stock represented thereby will be voted in accordance with the instructions thereon. If no instructions are indicated, the Common Stock represented thereby will be voted FOR the election of all the Directors, FOR the approval of the approval of a contingent amendment to Article Fourth of the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding common stock, and FOR the approval of the appointment of Hein & Associates LLP as the Company’s independent auditors for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Revocability of Proxy

Shares represented by valid proxies will be voted in accordance with instructions contained therein, or, in the absence of such instructions, in accordance with the Board of Directors’ recommendations. Any person signing and mailing the enclosed proxy may, nevertheless, revoke the proxy at any time prior to the actual voting thereof by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person, by providing written notice of revocation of the proxy or by submitting a signed proxy bearing a later date. Any written notice of revocation should be sent to the attention of the Secretary of the Company at the address above. Any stockholder of the Company has the unconditional right to revoke his or her proxy at any time prior to the voting thereof by any action inconsistent with the proxy, including notifying the Secretary of the Company in writing, executing a subsequent proxy, or personally appearing at the Annual Meeting and casting a contrary vote. However, no such revocation will be effective unless and until such notice of revocation has been received by the Company at or prior to the Annual Meeting.

Method of Counting Votes

Unless a contrary choice is indicated, all duly executed proxies will be voted in accordance with the instructions set forth on the proxy card. A broker non-vote occurs when a broker holding shares registered in street name is permitted to vote, in the broker’s discretion, on routine matters without receiving instructions from the client, but is not permitted to vote without instructions on non-routine matters, and the broker returns a proxy card with no vote (the “non-vote”) on the non-routine matter. Under the rules and regulations of the primary trading markets applicable to most brokers, brokers have the discretion to vote on “routine matters” if instructions are not received from the client in a timely manner. Abstentions will be counted as present for purposes of determining a quorum but will not be counted for or against the election of directors. As to Proposal 1, the Proxy confers authority to vote for all of the six persons listed as candidates for a position on the Board of Directors even though the block in Proposal 1 is not marked unless the names of one or more candidates are lined out. The Proxy will be voted “For” Proposal 2 unless “Against” or “Abstain” is indicated.  The Proxy will be voted “For” Proposal 3 unless “Against” or “Abstain” is indicated.  If any other business is presented at the meeting, the Proxy shall be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors.

HOUSEHOLDING

The SEC adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for annual reports and proxy statements with respect to two or more securityholders sharing the same address by delivering a single set of proxy materials addressed to those securityholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially means extra convenience for securityholders and cost savings for companies.

Many brokers with account holders who are Company stockholders will be “householding” the Company’s proxy materials. A single annual report and proxy statement will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker or the Company that they will be “householding” communications to your address, “householding” will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in “householding” and would prefer to receive a separate annual report and proxy statement, please notify your broker and direct a written request to Document Capture Technologies, Inc., 4255 Burton Drive, Santa Clara, California 95054 or by telephone to (408) 436-9888.

Stockholders who currently receive multiple copies of the proxy statement at their address and would like to request “householding” of their communications should contact their broker.

Annex A

CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT TO THE

CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION OF

DOCUMENT CAPTURE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

Pursuant to Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, Document Capture Technologies, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Corporation”), does here by certify as follows:

The name of the Corporation is Document Capture Technologies, Inc. and the Corporation’s original Certificate of Incorporation was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on February 15, 2002. The Board of Directors of the Corporation has duly adopted a resolution pursuant to Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware setting forth a proposed amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation and declaring said amendment to be advisable. The requisite stockholders of the Corporation have duly approved said proposed amendment in accordance with Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. The amendment amends the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation as follows:

1. Article Fourth is hereby amended by adding a paragraph which reads as follows:

“Effective upon the filing of this Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Effective Time”), the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and the shares of Common Stock issued and held in the treasury of the Corporation immediately prior to the Effective Time are reclasssified into a smaller number of shares such that each two to five shares of issued Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time is reclassified into one share of Common Stock, the exact ratio within the two to five range to be determined by the board of directors of the Corporation prior to the Effective Time and publicly announced by the Corporation. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, no fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse split. Shareholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive fractional shares as a result of the reverse split will have the number of new shares to which they are entitled rounded to the nearest whole number of shares. The number of new shares will be rounded up if the fractional share is equal to or greater than 0.5 and rounded down if the fraction is less than 0.5. No shareholders will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares.

Each stock certificate that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented shares of Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, from and after the Effective Time, automatically and without the necessity of presenting the same for exchange, represent that number of whole shares of Common Stock after the Effective Time into which the shares of Common Stock formerly represented by such certificate shall have been reclassified, provided, however, that each person of record holding a certificate that represented shares of Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall receive, upon surrender of such certificate, a new certificate evidencing and representing the number of whole shares of Common Stock after the Effective Time into which the shares of Common Stock formerly represented by such certificate shall have been reclassified.”

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this Certificate of Amendment to be executed by a duly authorized officer on this ___ day of ______, 2012.
