So much more than

OCR Software

!

OCR software with OCR technology (Optical Character Recognition) is still at the heart of ReadSoft technology. But document automation means so much more than just OCR software. The OCR software part deals mainly with document scanning, document capture and data capture. Thereafter, ReadSoft business solutions interprets and validates the captured data and transfers it into any target system. From document scanning, via OCR software / data capture, document capture and document recognition to complete document automation.

Early OCR software merely dealt with transferring text from paper to a PC using a simple flatbed scanner. Today’s industry-sized OCR software deals with much more than the basic data capture and document scanning functionality of early OCR software. Apart from the demands for document scanning speed and data capture accuracy, modern OCR software often also has to analyze documents, and be integrated with existing business systems. While simple optical character recognition software for data capture and document recognition may initially seem to be the solution to a problem – further analysis of the OCR software often points in the direction of a more complete high volume document automation system which can handle tasks beyond the basic document capture and optical character recognition capabilities found in traditional OCR software.
