OCR is the ideal solution for any business or department requiring extensive text searching over a body of information. Research tasks are made simpler through the use of OCR as it is easy to locate specific content in a document. Common uses for the OCR module include:
-
Legal Departments: Searching lengthy depositions and legal memoranda becomes a less cumbersome task when an OCR rendition is made for text searching. The original documents are stored in the system for legal purposes, but the OCR rendition is much easier to work with.
-
Human Resources Departments: Rather than indexing every résumé with many keyword values for retrieval purposes, streamline the interview process. Create an OCR rendition of any résumé to easily search for specific attributes of an applicant, and minimize the keywords used for retrieval. This cuts down on indexing time, as well as assuring that specifics concerning each candidate for hire are easily accessible via a simple text search.
