Optical Character Recognition (OCR)

A key aspect of electronic document management is the conversion of paper into digital images. Converting paper documents into images creates high resolution digital copies that are stored as files within your document management system, and archived on a hard drive or optical disk. Digital images represent a significant improvement over storing paper because they can be retrieved, viewed, printed, and electronically shared across the entire organization.

Data Builder’s Electronic Paper Control System (e-PCS) uses the latest advances in digital document conversion, including Optical Character Recognition (OCR). OCR converts the text within images, such as PDF files and CAD drawings, into active content for full text search and document retrieval. OCR technology, which is available in all Data Builder solutions, increases productivity, reduces costs, and delivers unparalleled access to all types of information. OCR and the indexing of image documents takes place automatically as documents are added into e-PCS.
