Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
What use are document images if you can’t search and manipulate them? Optical Character Recognition, or OCR, is the process of extracting text from images. Lucky for you, Ignited uses the industries top rated OCR engine, more accurate than any other of its kind.

Let's say you already have a set of images or PDF files but no ability to search them -- OCR is the answer. We can take CDs full of digital files, extract their text, and save them to any format you require.

What about tables and graphics? Again, not a problem -- our OCR software interprets tables and retains their original cell structure. Graphics are also omitted from the OCR process to ensure they are not tampered with, distorted, or lost.

Additional Features
  • Support for multiple export formats such as PDF, Word, Excel, and many more (see list below).
  • Our software supports up to 177 different languages.
  • Support for legal and medical dictionaries (English and German).
  • Multiple computers are pooled together to optimize the OCR process.
