LibertyNET Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
LibertyNET Optical Character Recognition (OCR) allows you to take control of your documents. If you're upgrading your paper-based office to an electronic document management system, then you likely will need optical character recognition. With LibertyNET OCR, you can perform full-text indexing, searching and editing to improve your document handling capabilities.
OCR refers to the process that involves reading (or scanning) the text from paper form into images, then translating the information into a format that computers can recognize. The OCR system consists of an optical scanner/card for reading the text and software to analyze the images. There are many features and benefits to using LibertyNET OCR, including third-party integration, drag-and-drop zone OCR and handwriting recognition.
