Optical Character Recognition (OCR)

 

OCR technology reads the content of a scanned image and produces electronic text. We can provide two main types of OCR on your scanned images:

 

The first is “Background OCR” which retains the original scanned image for viewing, but creates a layer of hidden text. This enables you to find relevant content in a document regardless of where it is located, how it was produced and what it is called.

 

The second, “Full OCR” creates an editable record (typically word-processor, database or spreadsheet) and is often used to reproduce documents that only exist in hardcopy (or microfilm) without the need for re-typing or for converting large volumes of data for use in a database.
