Ive heard about OCR and ICR, what are they?
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is the use of a machine to translate the words on a page into machine editable text. Most commonly today documents are scanned and the images processed by software using powerful algorithms and artificial intelligence to covert the printed words into text that can be edited using any word processing software. Intelligent Character Recognition (ICR) uses similarly powerful software to convert handwriting into editable text. • At Southport we have a number of very powerful software tools at our disposal. We can convert clean typewritten text with an extremely high degree of accuracy (99.9%). We also use leading edge technology for handwriting recognition.
