How much time would you save if you could pull a read-only PDF into Microsoft Word – for immediate editing, or make thousands of scanned documents searchable?

Benefits

Our OCR services can help your business:

Save time and increase productivity

Batch scanning has rapidly become indispensable for users who deal with large volumes of files – such as accounts department. Batch scanning can save many hours of manual processing, with large volumes of documents now scanned automatically in one go. Files are then indexed into ‘digital filing cabinets’ for fast and easy reference.

Turn read-only files to editable text

Administrators can save valuable time by using an OCR solution that magically pulls read-only text from a PDF file, and incorporating it into another document. For instance, a school can pull out an extract from a read-only education policy and incorporate it into a parent newsletter.

Turn text to speech

Listen to your documents in the car or on the train. Advanced text-to-speech technology  can turn any document into a natural sounding audio file for burning to CD or transferring to your mobile device.

Translate foreign languages

Konica Minolta can also provide OCR solutions that provide unique language recognition capabilities which convert documents from more than 180 foreign languages and 110 languages for Intelligent Character Recognition (ICR).

Decipher questionnaires

The power of OCR technology is dramatically changing many other industries that utilise templates or fixed forms that need deciphering – such as questionnaires, surveys and tests.
