OCR in the Cloud
OCR (Optical Character Recognition) allows users to search and modify text in scanned documents. Having this feature means users can quickly search within documents without the need for trawling through paperwork to find what they need.
Create text searchable PDFs and editable documents when scanning, without needing to install a 3rd party scanning app! PaperCut MF can deliver and manage quick scan, OCR and delivery functionality within the one product.
If you're running an on-premise solution you can test this feature in The Percolator.
