Question: I want to make all of my scans and PDFs text searchable. Is there software available that can convert a whole batch of files into text files?
Answer: Yes, there is software available to convert scanned documents and PDFs into text searchable files. It is called OCR, which stands for optical character recognition. OCR works by taking image files, which is basically what scans and PDFs are, and converting them into machine encoded text files, allowing them to be edited and searched. CVISION Technologies is a leading provider of OCR software. Their batch OCR tool, the Maestro Recognition Server is powered by the most accurate OCR engine in the market and can process up to 20 pages per second.
