Optical character recognition (OCR) software can be used optimally when source documents feature clear printing and format consistency. In such cases, the fast, automated extraction of data can be realized using OCR technology. For situations in which source documents make it impossible to recognize at least 90 percent of the data accurately, double-key data entry methods may be more efficient and cost-effective.

To determine whether or not OCR is a good option, consider the document. OCR is most efficient when documents feature printing with clear and consistent separations. When it comes to graphics, clearly defined lines are vital. Clear separations and defined lines facilitate the easy recognition of separate characters and drawing lines by the OCR software. For example, a form with contact information clearly typed in the same location on each form is easily recognizable by OCR software.

When type is very clear and forms are uniform, OCR can boast accuracies to equal to or greater than 97 percent. For higher accuracy rates, staff can be used to verify certain information visually. Fortunately, all is not lost when forms are not uniform or clear enough to provide for OCR. In such cases, double-key data entry can provide for accuracy rates that are greater than 99.9 percent.

Optical character recognition (OCR) programs are designed for the translation of scanned images of text into text that can be edited by computer. This process requires the recognition and analysis of scanned images, followed by the translating of character images into character codes.

Sometimes Our company clients want to realize an entirely automated process for the capture of data. This level of automation can be helpful for maximizing cost reduction. To accomplish this, Our company turns to its subsidiary, Our company, for state-of-the-art OCR technology. Thanks to this technology, data can be captured when documents are scanned. While OCR programs do not completely exclude humans from the data-capture process, they can provide for a high level of automation when significant quantities of the same type of document are being scanned.

OCR technology can be used for capturing data in a wide range of applications. With OCR programs, tables, lines, characters, and graphs can be recognized by computers. In certain situations, this form of data capture can take the place of the normal process of having documents viewed by human eyes and typed by human hands.

If you are interested in OCR for data capture, contact Our company for information and help. A representative will speak to you about your particular application and the unique needs of your organization, helping you to determine whether or not OCR is a viable option for meeting your data capture needs.
