Optical Character Recognition
PROSCAN offers OCR scanning services and software that allows you to digitize your files and simplify your data entry and searches. Optical character recognition (OCR) software extracts and repurposes data from your scanned documents, such as text or images, putting them into words and sentences and allowing you to edit and access all the content from your original document. OCR can be included as part of your document management package or as a stand-alone option.
OCR, or Optical Character Recognition, is a technology that converts different types of documents, such as scanned paper documents, PDF files, or images captured by a digital camera into editable and searchable data. This is achieved through scanning the document, recognizing and converting the characters in the images into text, and then formatting the text to match the original document.
The primary benefits of OCR scanning services technology include increased efficiency and accuracy in data entry, reduced storage space, enhanced accessibility of information, improved data security, and considerable savings in time and cost associated with manual data entry.
