Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
As society moves more and more toward digital technology, it is increasingly essential to be able to easily convert paper documents into searchable and editable digital files. One of the top software programs available to do this is Readiris – used by leading scanner and document management companies such as HP, Adobe and Canon. There are two versions available of Readiris: the Professional edition is designed for individuals or small workgroups while Corporate offers comprehensive features for business environments; both provide options and configuration settings to easily transform scanned PDFs and scanned files into editable digital files or PDFs.
This program performs several functions for digitizing paper documents into digital formats, such as OCR, text recognition and barcode reading. Users can add digital signatures and security protections to their files with this program that supports 192 different languages. By automating repetitive tasks such as document scanning, indexing and file conversion it saves considerable time and effort as well as providing accessibility features like speech to text conversion and Braille support that enable people who are blind or visually impaired access scanned documents more easily.
An additional feature is the ability to convert PDF and other files to audio, which can then be played back on any compatible device. This feature can be particularly helpful for individuals who struggle with reading text, or need content while traveling or on-the-go.
Overall, this software boasts numerous impressive features that make it well worth its price for those seeking to save time and effort by eliminating tedious retyping sessions. However, there are a few downsides, including not being compatible with some file types or needing a powerful computer in order to function efficiently.

Automating separation of pages containing barcodes from others (blank pages or those containing text pages). Renaming files, extracting bar codes, then saving as an XML index for easy retrieval.
Optimized document layout allows for easier editing with image and layout editing tools:
Page Orientation Detection automatically recognizes in which direction a document is facing and rotates it accordingly.
Despeckling detects and removes “noise,” such as small black spots that frequently appear in low quality images or when using inadequate scanner settings.
Your preferences allow you to save and apply a specific set of recognition and processing settings (primary and secondary languages, preferred accuracy over speed, output format and its settings (PDF passwords, online storage system settings, page sizes, indexing settings and page analysis, despeckling and deskewing settings) whenever scanning documents. You can then apply those same settings when scanning them again.
Readiris Pro 10 Corporate Edition offers you the capability of running recognition on all the images stored within a folder (watched folder). This enables you to keep it running every day in its dedicated location and automatically recognize every new file added into it, while providing options such as file naming for recognized documents as well as cancelling operations with just a single click.
Image Recognition (IR)
Readiris takes this process one step further by recognising documents with one click, saving both time and money by automating document processing!
How it Works: After scanning or opening an image file in Readiris, every page of your document is automatically divided into several zones that represent text, image, and table data (for Readiris Corporate only).

Change the font, size and style of any recognized character as well as adjust table or column layout or positions. Furthermore, manually select or deselect parts of text – Readiris will then adapt its recognition process accordingly.
