Frequently Asked Questions
What is
Document Scanning?
Document scanning is the multi-step process of
converting a paper page into an electronic image of
that page. The quality of the image depends on
the technologies and processes utilized by the
vendor converting the files.
What is OCR?
OCR or Optical Character Recognition refers to
technologies that involve "reading" words from a
scanned image by translating each character on an
image into searchable text. OCR enables users to
search for and retrieve information within a file or
page. In addition, when a set of files is indexed,
users are able to search for keywords across an
entire document library and retrieve each page with
exact precision. OCR enables users to execute
searches in seconds, searches that once required
hours or days to complete.
What things
should I know when my company wants to conduct a
document scanning project?
As with any
successful
project, it is important to clearly define the
People, Process, and Technology Requirements as they
relate to the project goals. The
key to a successful document conversion project is starting with the end
goal in mind, then employing proven
technology solutions and conversion methods (of
which document imaging can be just one step in the entire
process). Your team may need tools and
guidelines
to enable them to make informed decisions on all aspects of a
document scanning project. For more
