When Starting a Document Scanning Project Keep the Following in Mind
We have gone
over color options, file cleaning and document preparation; another detail,
which is frequently misunderstood, is the concept of Optical Character
Recognition or OCR.
One of the best advantages to having
a document scanning company process your documents is the ability to have OCR
performed on the images. OCR allows a user to search and find matches to
characters, words, phrases etc. which can greatly cut down on the time that it
takes to search through a document and find specific information. Lawyers,
CPAs, CROs, reporters and numerous others find great value in this feature… if
it is done properly, and the client knows what to expect. First off, clients
need to realize that OCR is not a perfect technology and cannot create
something out of nothing. The biggest variable in OCR is the source material;
for example if a word document is converted to a PDF everything will work
perfectly. But if you are hiring a document scanning company to scan documents
and create searchable PDFs the image quality of the document really plays a
large role in the accuracy of the OCR.
