Optical Character Recognition: What it Is and How OCR Software Could Save You Time

You may or may not have heard of optical character recognition before, but now’s the time to get yourself up to date. Optical character recognition (OCR) is the identification of characters using software and photoelectric devices.

At AisplStore, we offer OCR software in the form of Abbyy Fine Reader 12 – a highly intelligent optical character recognition software.

What does OCR software actually do?

OCR software such as Abbyy Fine Reader 12 allows you to create and edit documents based on the paper original. Essentially, you’re turning your written papers into digital text files.

Once converted, the test is just as a normal text document – you can edit it, search it, copy it and more – as well as adding tables and images if you so wish.

Text can be detected from image only PDFs as well as scans from your paper copies. You can even use the ‘Screenshot Reader’ feature, which quickly copies the text from screenshots. You’ll also be able to convert PDF files into editable formats for updating, adding to or reusing.

If you only need to extract text from a particular area – that’s possible too. You’ll be able to choose selected areas without having to process the entire document, which is a great feature for time-saving.

The accuracy of OCR software is around 99.8 percent, so any edits you’ll need to will be minor – if any are necessary at all. Additionally, Abbyy Fine Reader 12 can support text recognition in 190 languages – more than any other comparable software on the market, making it the best choice if you work with foreign markets.

How can this help me from a professional point of view?

If you write a lot of work related notes or information on paper, this is the perfect way to back them up digitally for safe storage or even to share copies of with your colleagues or employees. It’s also a helpful way to keep track of receipts or invoices that are prone to be lost in piles of paperwork.

You’ll no longer have to spend hours searching through physical files and folders to find the hard copy of the information you need. Instead, just search for it using your computer.

Similarly, the software is also great for students who want to back up their class notes for future reference.

It’s an easy and effective piece of software that can benefit almost anyone!
