Question:
I have some scanned documents on my computer that I want to OCR. Do I have to do them one by one and supervise the entire process, or can I do them all at once?

Answer:
With the right software, you definitely do not have to select the files one by one. If you have an OCR tool with batch processing capabilities, you can select an entire folder and OCR it quickly and easily. One such solution is Maestro Recognition Server, which is super-fast and extremely accurate. Maestro was developed to handle scanned documents in bulk, so you don’t have to worry about large volume.

Question:
What kind of documents is OCR software useful for? Are there any types of files that are better for OCR than other files?

Answer:
OCR can be used for many different types of documents. In almost any industry, OCR can help speed the processing of texts, forms, and other documents, saving you both time and money. For example, legal documents can be very long and tedious to sift through manually. If you use OCR to make them text-searchable, you can find relevant passages instantly. Also, forms and surveys can be processed much more efficiently using OCR. Any type of document can be fully or partially automated with OCR.

Question:
How does character recognition software work? What does its accuracy depend on?

Answer:
Character recognition software, better known as optical character recognition or OCR, recognizes the shapes formed by outlines of text characters and identifies the letters and words that are formed. The accuracy of the software depends both on the quality of the product and on the quality of the text itself. If the outlines of the letters are unclear, or if there is additional “noise” on the page, the software will be less effective than when working with a crystal-clear document. Under ideal conditions, and with a high-quality product, you can achieve near-perfect accuracy. If you are looking for accuracy, I would recommend you try Maestro Recognition Server, which has the most accurate OCR available in the English language.

Question:
To what extent is OCR software automated? How much manual supervision does it actually need?

Answer:
Depending on the type of software that you use, you can have different levels of automation. If you choose a high-quality, professional program, the software can do everything for you automatically, from completely OCRing an entire folder to sorting the files according to customized preferences. OCR is extremely easy to use. Simply place the document on the scanner and let the OCR software do everything else. Such a comprehensive OCR toolkit leaves you time to focus on other tasks.
