Outsourcing OCR (Optical Character Recognition)
Our Company has an ample experience in OCR recognition of documents regardless of complexity and source language.
We use the text recognition program Abby Fine reader. At the present time, Fine reader is one of the best programs in this field. Due to continuous improvements in Fine reader’s algorithm, we can process documents with a very complex structure provided almost in any condition. Our specialists are highly-qualified users of Fine reader. After accumulating years of experience, we developed special techniques and methods for processing various types and condition of source documents using this software.
Text scanning, recognition and processing cycle:
- Scanning of hard-copy original document. Most documents are scanned in black and white. If necessary, the document will be scanned in color or grey scale to save images and pictures
- Recognition of the structure of document pages
- Text recognition. At this stage, our main task is to minimize recognition error rate. The number of errors depends on poly graphic quality of the document, text size and contrast ratio, and complexity of relative position of elements on the page.
- Recognition accuracy check. Visual check for compliance with the original document
- Spelling check;
- Formatting and preparation of the target document. Adjustment of parameters of fonts and paragraphs. Creation and formatting of tables, additional manual entry of unrecognized text, formulae and tables.
Attention!
Many companies specializing in OCR — Optical Character Recognition use fully automated mode to recognize documents, and then correct the text using text editor and deliver target documents without any further changes. This method allows significantly reducing the time of order fulfillment, but the deliverables are often non-conforming to the requirements and are difficult to use. Therefore, the Client has to spend a lot of time to perform additional editing and formatting of its documents.
Thus, we use semi-automatic recognition mode with correction of each processing stage instead of fully automated text recognition. As a result, we produce easy-to-use target documents.
Our Company specializes in professional conversion of hard-copy documents into various electronic formats for many years. Due to the cost-effective technological process, we can offer you our services at the best prices.
