How OCR works: OCR analyzes every character in the image, compares it to stored patterns and converts it into digital text. In the past, OCR was limited to simple printed text, but today, thanks to artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), it can also recognize and interpret handwritten notes or graphically prepared content such as diagrams and tables.
Advantages of PDF text recognition for companies
OCR text recognition offers far more than just time savings when digitizing PDFs. The technology supports the automation of numerous processes and optimizes content quality. Here are the key benefits at a glance:
- Time and resource savings: automated text recognition in PDFs and other files means documents are analyzed and converted in seconds. This not only saves time, but also allows employees to focus on more strategically demanding tasks instead of spending time manually processing texts and documents.
- Higher data quality and reduction of errors: OCR tools ensure consistent and error-free data quality. Manual errors in the text and file input process are avoided, which is particularly important in areas such as accounting and compliance.
- Cost savings through automation: OCR tools reduce costs by minimizing the need for manual input. Labor hours spent on repetitive tasks such as typing texts and PDFs are eliminated and efficiency increases, which has a positive impact on costs in general.
- Improved accessibility and searchability: All information that was previously hidden in non-searchable PDF documents or text files can now be easily searched and analyzed. Departments can access the information they need more quickly, promoting cross-departmental collaboration and enabling efficient use of information from different files.
- Security and data protection: By using OCR tools, it is possible to structure sensitive information in text files and PDFs and store it in secure digital archives. In this way, sensitive information is better protected and meets current data protection requirements.
The IDP solution from ExB - an intelligent way to recognize text
With its Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) solution, ExB offers a comprehensive platform that has been specially developed for the automation of document processing in companies.
Advantages of our IDP platform – “AI made in Germany”
- High accuracy and reliability: Thanks to advanced AI algorithms, information is extracted with maximum precision.
- Seamless integration: ExB offers a flexible interface that can be easily integrated into existing systems, ensuring smooth processing.
- Customized functions: The software is customized to meet the specific requirements of each company and supports many file formats and languages.
- Security and data protection:
ExB attaches great importance to security, which is why the evaluation is secured by advanced encryption and access management.
ExB’s IDP platform goes far beyond classic OCR. By integrating other technologies such as ML and Natural Language Processing (NLP), as well as computer vision, the platform becomes an intelligent document processing solution that can even recognize handwriting. NLP allows the software to understand the language and context of text content, which is particularly useful for ambiguous or highly structured documents.
Thanks to ML, the ExB solution is continuously improved. The AI models learn from the processed documents and adapt to the specific requirements of each document. This means that the accuracy of text recognition increases over time and the software is increasingly tailored to business requirements. In this way, companies benefit from a solution that adapts dynamically and is constantly optimized.
endless possibilities.
ExB is an Intelligent Document Processing platform that transforms unstructured data from any type of document into structured results. Our AI-based software can not only extract all relevant information from your documents, but also understand them. This allows you to automate your processes and save both time & money, while improving your customer experience and employee satisfaction. Win-win.
