Solid OCR was developed because there are more and more legacy scanned files that require editing or updating and we need an affordable high quality solution for our own Solid Documents end-user products. As with our other reconstruction technology, Solid OCR is available for licensing by 3rd party application developers through the <a href="http://www.soliddocuments.com/products.htm?product=SolidFramework">Solid Framework</a> SDK.</p> <h2>High Quality Optical Character Recognition</h2> <p class="body">High quality optical character recognition in 17 languages (English, Catalan, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish , Slovenian, Swedish and Turkish) for reconstructing scanned pages as editable documents.</p> <div style="width: 680px;"> <a href="https://downloads.soliddocuments.com/pdfs/solid_ocr.pdf" target="_blank" title="Click here to view the Solid OCR PDF Presentation"><img src="/images/solid_ocr.png" style="width: 400px; height: 300px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" alt="Click here to view the Solid OCR PDF Presentation" title="Click here to view the Solid OCR PDF Presentation"><p class="body" style="text-align: center;"><b>Click here to view the Solid OCR PDF Presentation</b></p></a></div> <h3>Top Features of Solid OCR</h3> <h4>OCR (Optical Character Recognition):</h4> <p class="body">Computers are everywhere you look. However, paper documents haven鈥檛 simply gone away. Storing, finding, and using paper documents adds unwanted extra time to work processes. Organizations frequently scan documents and then store them as PDF files. </br><br>Storing documents as PDF files only solves the physical storage problem. Scanning and applying OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to your documents solves many problems associated with paper documents and has the added benefit of making these documents searchable. </br><br>Solid OCR allows you to create and apply a searchable text layer to your scanned documents. This text layer makes PDFs easy to index and archive so that you can quickly find what you need, when you need it. </p> <h4>Automatically Apply OCR:</h4> <p class="body">When scanning documents to PDF using Solid OCR you can automatically apply a searchable text layer. Scanners with automatic document feeders are supported and Solid OCR can handle anything from one page to multiple pages depending on your needs. </p> <h4>Apply OCR to Existing Scanned PDF documents:</h4> <p class="body">Existing scanned PDF documents can be converted in bulk to searchable PDF/A documents. </p> <h4>Searching the PDF in Adobe Reader:</h4> <p class="body">You can use applications such as Adobe® Reader to search for text in PDF documents. Other applications can index the documents, allowing you to search for text among many archived PDF documents. </p><p> </p></td></tr></table><br><div style="border: 1px solid #4872C4; width: 896px; background-color: #4872C4; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; color: #fff; text-align: center;"> <span class="topw">We use cookies on this site to enhance your user experience.
