Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
Many organisations are burdened by large numbers of paper documents. Ideally these need converting into computer files to be processed, edited and stored in electronic formats, saving costs and promoting a range of business efficiencies.
Atlas’ OCR solution equips a single operator to deal with hundreds or even thousands of paper documents each day. Our equipment scans the text on a page, then breaks the fonts down into a series of dots called a bitmap.
The software can read most common fonts and distinguish where lines start and stop. The bitmap is then translated into electronic format.
Using Atlas OCR in this way provides organisations with:
- Swift integration of hard copy documents into electronic systems
- Instant access to, and control of, important documents at all times
- Safe and efficient storage of those documents without the need for large and costly filing systems, facilities and staff
- Precision, by avoiding the need for expensive, time-consuming and potentially inaccurate retyping of paper documents
- Security, with the automatic back up of electronic systems removing the risk of losing valuable hard copies
