Full Text OCR

Optical Character Recognition, (OCR) is the process of extracting text from images, scanned images are converted to fully searchable text documents. Filescan Solutions uses the industries top rated OCR engine, more accurate than any other of its kind.

The potential of using OCR systems is enormous because they enable users to harness the power of computers to access printed documents, and gives you the added benefit of quickly searching through millions of pages of documents using a single word or phrase to locate the file or files you are seeking.

OCR is already being used widely in the legal profession, where searches that once required hours or days can now be accomplished in a few seconds. Full-text searches are particularly useful in finding specific words or wording in reams of documents. For instance, you can quickly and easily find references to a specific name, date, address or subject matter. Search results instantly identify all of the references and how they appear in the context of a sentence. The user can then go directly to the relevant page within the document.

In addition, a word processing file (e.g., Microsoft Word) can easily be created from the originally scanned document. This newly created word processing file can be further manipulated and shared across various applications, significantly reducing the need for editing and rewriting.
