In the video we see how SimpleIndex approaches a typical Zone OCR
example. With SimpleIndex you can use large zones that give a
wide margin for error. Template and Dictionary matching are then
used to extract the 7-digit Account Number, 6 digit Order Number and
Company Name. SimpleIndex discards the surrounding text and keeps
the correct value.
Another common example is finding a unique identifier, for example a social security number,
that could appear anywhere on the page. Simply enter the template ###-##-#### and SimpleIndex
will search the full OCR text until it finds a match. Since only one social
security number is likely to appear on the page, a match on this pattern
is almost certainly the required value.
With dictionary matching, you can give SimpleIndex a list of possible
values and it will automatically search the zone or page for each possible value
until it finds a match.
Many dynamic forms processing applications can be implemented using
these simple algorithms. This makes SimpleIndex far more versatile than
other zone OCR solutions that require the index value to be in the exact
same location on every page. Yet SimpleIndex costs only a fraction of
the price!
SimpleIndex's dynamic forms processing can greatly speed up data entry
by eliminating a good percentage of indexing work. For many this can put
the labor cost of scanning within their reach. Dynamic OCR can also be
applied to MS Office and
PDF files, creating a fully automated process for intelligently
indexing and reorganizing electronic documents. Check our

to improve accuracy and efficiency in dynamic and zone OCR applications. |
