and Do you want to make a digital format out of the hard copy of any document? If you do, OCR (abbreviation for “Optical Character Recognition”) is the technology you need. Optical Character Recognition is a modern technology used for digital replication. The OCR program software does more than simply reading the fonts from scanned documents or digitally captured images – it can recognize line breaks in the document, split up columns, turn images into graphics, allow searching the text by keyword, allow document editing, etc. The process is quite simple, easy to manage, and can take just a few seconds. Some even say that OCR program software can replace a Data Entry service. However, there are advantages and disadvantages to both forms of digitizing content.
ADVANTAGES OF OCR
If you want to convert a document into an editable digital format, the OCR program software is the best choice. The Optical Character Recognition process can save both time and effort when developing a digital replica of the document. It provides a fast and reliable alternative to typing manually. All you need to do is use an optical scanner or digital camera to turn a document’s hard copy into the digital format. When scanning, always remember to enable the “scan to OCR” option. The OCR program software can convert a document into many different electronic formats, like Microsoft Word, Text (and Rich Text), Excel, and of course, it can also convert scanned PDF documents
All documents created through OCR program software are editable and allow you to modify the content as you see fit. If you compare the cost of OCR with the cost of manual data entry, OCR is a lot cheaper. It is already an indispensable part of most large companies’ office equipment and a valuable technology in industries that are heavily scanning documentation, such as the legal department, financial institutions, government agencies, etc.
