Optical Character Recognition:

 

OCR i.e. Optical Character Recognition is the process of turning a picture of image (such as a scanned image of a  letter or invoice, or a PDF document which is essentially an image of a text documents) into a text document that can be added to searchable database, allowing the retrieval of scanned PDF documents based on their content.

 

Docsvault handles OCR conversion of  following documents in one centralized location i.e the Docsvault Server.

 

•Importing electronic PDF files (image base) scanned or created from other applications

•Scanning paper documents in Docsvault with optical character recognition (OCR)

 
The files are marked for OCR and added in queue for OCR. The OCR process runs in the background as a separate service on the Server machine where Docsvault Server is installed.  Note that to process OCR, you must enable the OCR service and set the schedule in Docsvault Server Machine.
