Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a technology that converts images of text into editable and searchable data. The process starts by scanning a document, creating a digital image. OCR software then analyses the structure of the text, recognises characters and words, and converts them into digital text files. This technology makes it possible to digitise and edit handwritten or printed documents.
What is OCR used in?
OCR is used in various applications, such as archiving documents, automating data entry and making texts accessible to people with visual impairments. Modern OCR systems use artificial intelligence and machine learning to improve accuracy and recognition speed. This allows them to process even complex layouts and different fonts effectively.
How does TriFact365 use this technique?
TriFact365 applies optical character recognition to make texts editable and searchable. These searchable texts and recognition algorithms are used to create booking proposals. Applying OCR also makes it possible to make data in a PDF available for selection purposes. Optical character recognition is one of the components of TriFact365’s scanning and recognition solution.
