OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is a new software program that has revolutionized the job market. OCR makes it possible to convert printed or handwritten text on paper or images into machine-readable text. This article will delve deeper into the world of OCR and explain the revolution in the labor market that this technology has made possible.
From paper to database
In today's digital world, paper documents are still ubiquitous and pose a challenge when it comes to collecting, processing and storing information. To overcome this challenge, OCR (Optical Character Recognition) comes into play. In the past, extracting text from paper documents was very tedious, especially if they were in large quantities. With OCR, this process can now be carried out automatically and in a short time. This has led to significant time savings and increased efficiency in many areas where paper documents are still widely used, such as legal, finance and public services.
Extracting text
Another important feature of OCR is its capability, Extract PDF data to Excel. This makes data analysis and processing much easier as users can now view and edit the data in a formatted table instead of manually copying it from a PDF document. This increases the accuracy of the data as it minimizes the errors caused by manual data entry. Extracting data from PDF files into Excel is much faster than manual data entry, so it saves organizations time and increases their efficiency as they can use their data quickly and easily.
Always ready and secure
OCR enables companies to make their data accessible at any time and from anywhere. This means that employees can access important data without being restricted to a specific device or location. The software also enables companies to store and protect their data securely. As all data is stored digitally, it is protected against loss or destruction and can be stored securely.
Overall OCR is an important milestone in the digitization and automation of paper documents. It provides organizations with an efficient solution for processing large volumes of paper documents, enabling them to improve their workflows and save time and resources. OCR will forever change the way we work with paper documents and offer companies the opportunity to optimize their work processes and increase their productivity.
