How Does It Work?

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) brings the convenience of searchability to paper documents. This technology has the capability to convert scanned images of text into machine-readable text. OCR allows your computer system to interpret an image of a scanned document as if it were a digital document.

After Century scans your paper documents, they are run through the OCR process. Once the text is converted into a digital format, it becomes possible to execute searches for specific words or phrases. This eliminates the need for manual searching through documents, enabling you to locate the required information with a simple search command and enhancing productivity.
