OCR scanning is the final piece in the paperless puzzle

Of all the phrases used in the world of business, ‘paperless office’ is one that remains prominent and discussed by leaders in the sector. Unlike other ‘buzzwords’ this is not a throwaway term, with many predicting document scanning technology it is set to transform the working world. However, while this may be true, there are some that remain cynical about its relevance or practical use beyond theoretical discussion. OCR scanning services are the final piece in the paperless puzzle says Pearl Scan, proving why, when used together, document scanning technology is revolutionary.

OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is the process of converting physical documents into editable, searchable, virtual files. With OCR scanning services, information is then imported into Microsoft Word, JPEG, TIFF and PDF documents in a fully text searchable format. Printed tables, bank statements and more can also be easily transformed into Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. OCR technology takes scanned data and prepares it for practical use. With just one process, information captured from paper documents can be transformed into valuable, operational data.

Understandably, there are concerns over the compatibility of these new, virtual files with existing technical infrastructure and processes that are used. OCR scanning services solve these problems, seamlessly integrating all newly digitised files with current virtual working systems.”
