Speed and ease of use
Simple, straightforward setup, with a clean, easy to use API for quick integration into your applications.  High level API allows developers to easily convert an image to text or searchable PDF with only 9 lines of code.  For other more complex implementations, developers can easily access document information in data structures, such as page, paragraph, text line and character data.

Accuracy
Convert images into text and reduce manual data entry with high levels of accuracy that meet or exceed industry best standards. Confidence values are returned with each character, enabling you to check your extraction results.

Full page optical character recognition
Convert full-page and multi-page images to text output. Allows output to multi-page, searchable PDF files.

Automatic image and text segmentation
Compatible with various page layouts, including interspersed photos and graphics within text. Image-over-text PDF output has searchable text that aligns with the text on the image, and adjusts for varying font sizes on the page.

Generate text and PDF files
For images to be searchable, export to PDF image-over-text documents. Export to text files for use in updating metadata or tag data for image based documents in your ECM system.

Output data structures
Access results through an output structure that provides information about layout, content and recognition confidence. Developers can access the text at multiple levels including a text line, a word within that line, or a character within that line or word.
