OCR - Optical Character Recognition
Services:
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a program by which we can
take hard copy and scan the files into text files. Faxed files which
come through as images can also be converted into text documents by
using OCR.
OCR
involves the recognition and conversion of printed characters on an
image (picture) to searchable ASCII text (similar to type in a word
processing program). Recognition is impacted by the quality of the
scanned page. Even on quality pages, OCR output may results only in
80% accuracy and will need to be edited. The OCR'd text files can be
linked to the original image and provided to the client with links
that provide a useful transition from text to image.
An
OCRed text stream works better and more seamlessly with a PDF
document than a TIFF or JPEG file. In particular, PDF format
supports a hidden OCR text layer and highlighted text search hits,
both of which are unsupported by TIFF and JPEG.
Also, in order for you to search for information on imaged
documents, information has to be converted to searchable text. One
conversion process involves the use of an OCR program to read the
image and convert the information to text.
ePro's staff of editors will clean up OCR'd text and run it through
a QC process to verify data integrity. Edited documents will achieve
99.9% accuracy in database text retrieval. If you need to be able to
accurately search the text, you will want this service to be
performed.
If
you're already storing documents in TIFF or JPEG, you should
consider converting them into PDF's to fully utilize the benefits
that super-compressed PDFs have to offer.
