OCR Scanning

Why do you need an OCR SDK to simplify your workflows?
At the moment, you are probably wasting tremendous amounts of time and resources to capture or process thousands of documents. By using a ocr image to text software, you can boost your productivity and optimize your business workflows. Most SDKs are customizable to your needs, which makes it a flexible, fast, and easy solution for various industries such as banking, insurance, logistics, accounting or healthcare.

Another advantage: Once you have scanned a paper document, you won’t have to worry about inefficient and cost-intensive storage options for the physical copy!

Optical Character Recognition is an image processing technology that provides a convenient way to extract data from paper documents and turn it into a digital format. During the process, an algorithm recognizes characters from printed documents and creates searchable and editable PDFs. It is often applied in business process automation workflows.

Document digitization through on-device OCR significantly increases productivity. Precisely, automated data processing accelerates your workflow by up to 40 times compared to manually entering the information contained in your documents. Moreover, utilizing such solutions enhances security standards since costly and often insecure local storage of confidential data becomes redundant.

Volume vs. Flat-Rate Solutions
Volume and flat-rate models are the most common pricing models for Text Recognition (OCR) SDKs. While volume models charge a price per document or user, plus the installation fee, flat-rate solutions refer to a set price irrespective of the number of scanned documents. Thus, when digitalizing high or unpredictable amounts of documents, a flat-rate pricing model allows you to work with a budget that has been determined in advance. In order to guarantee transparency and calculable costs, we exclusively offer flat-rate solutions with no hidden fees, based on your personal budget.

Does Scanbot’s OCR SDK support various languages?

In an international business environment, being able to identify and process a great variety of languages is essential when performing OCR on a document. Currently, most solutions can recognize more than 100 languages but are restricted to Latin characters. Scanbot's SDK additionally supports diverse Arabic and Asian languages.
