OCR (Optical Character Recognition) transforms images into searchable information

OCR increases the efficiency and effectiveness of utilizing your data sets for decision making. The ability to quickly search through content is extremely useful, especially in an office setting that has to deal with high document inflow or high volume scanning. OCR can easily be combined with other technologies such as file compression and scanning. The end result for any business is the increased efficiency of the workflow since employees no longer have to waste time manually searching through raw data.

With OCR (Optical Character Recognition) Lighthouse IP Group extracts text from data images and creates digital, editable information. We typically partner with the leading providers of optical character recognition software and have also integrated a number of state-of-the-art OCR engines into our own infrastructure.
