What is an OCR program?
An OCR program is a program that can optically recognize text characters within a scanned document. OCR programs are useful for making these documents text-searchable, allowing users to work with the actual text instead of just viewing it as an image. OCR software uses the outlines of characters to identify letters and words. It is also a convenient tool for number recognition.
What is a batch OCR program?
A batch OCR program is any OCR program that has batch processing capabilities, enabling the software to process large volumes of text at a time. A batch OCR program is a useful tool in a professional setting, where one might have a large document inflow. Batch OCR software significantly speeds text recognition and other tasks that rely on OCR output.
Choosing a batch OCR program
There are many different OCR programs to choose from, and so many users may find the options overwhelming. Fortunately, it is fairly easy to narrow down your choices. First of all, if you require batch processing, then be sure to choose a program that has this capability. You should also think about accuracy, which is a major determinant of software quality. Maestro Recognition Server from CVISION has batch processing and high accuracy, making it an easy choice.
