WHAT IS OCR?

DataMerj offers OCR, otherwise known as Optical Character Recognition, which is a technology that recognizes text within a digital image. It is commonly used to recognize text in scanned documents, but it serves many other purposes as well.

OCR software processes a digital image by locating and recognizing characters, such as letters, numbers, and symbols. Some OCR software will simply export the text, while other programs can convert the characters to editable text directly in the image. DataMerj uses this process to help your company easily search a multi-page document for a key word or phrase so that you don’t need to read through an entire document to find what you are looking for.
