Electronic File Conversion & OCR
What is an Electronic File Conversion?
Electronic file conversion refers to converting a file into electronic format. The look and feel of the original file is hard to preserve when converting to pure electronic format. For the purpose of records retention, such electronic documents are usually unacceptable. Having made these disclaimers, electronic file conversion is generally more compact than image-based documents. For files that start off in electronic format, such electronic conversion is considered more acceptable.
Electronic File with OCR Conversion
Using optical character recognition or OCR technology converts an image-based document to an electronic file format that is readable and recognizable to the computer – allowing users and computers to text-search through the document with ease.
