Im Betriebsablauf fallen häufig Dokumente an, die zwar Texte enthalten, aber in einem Format vorliegen, das die computergestützte Textverarbeitung nicht unterstützt. Dabei handelt es sich meistens um Grafiken aus optischen Eingabegeräten, wie Scannern, Digitalkameras und Faxempfängern, die überwiegend Rastergrafiken als Ergebnis hervorbringen. Um die in den Grafiken enthaltenen Texte effizient nutzen zu können, müssen diese mithilfe von OCR in maschinenlesbare Zeichen umgewandelt werden. Im Anschluss können die Texte wie gewohnt mit einem Textverarbeitungsprogramm editiert, kopiert und durchsucht werden. Die automatische Texterkennung spart wertvolle Zeit und somit auch Geld.

OCR as time goes by: The first machine-readable font was developed for the American government 45 years ago. Much has changed in the world of OCR technology from that time until today.

1968 was a revolutionary year - not just in the sense of political upheaval, but in the history of the computer as well. Douglas C. Engelbart invented the computer mouse, the precursor of the personal computer hit the market, and electronic data processing was slowly gaining in popularity and demand.

Let OCR integrate faxes into your workflow​

OCR stands for optical character recognition and is a technology that allows PDF documents to be converted into text documents that can be searched and edited. Even in the digital age, faxes have not lost all their importance and are still used widely in a number of areas. The problem: Once scanned, these documents are available as either graphics files or as PDFs that contain only reproduced images and no text content, which means they cannot be integrated into your workflows. The solution is to use OCR to convert these graphics documents into editable PDF documents which allow them to be searched for specific terms and thus capable of being integrated into your company's workflows. webPDF provides the means of creating PDF documents from digitally recorded faxes that not only contain the fax image, but the text content as well.
