Automatically Process Forms with Zone OCR
Dramatically increase your forms processing speed with the Laserfiche Zone OCR Plug-in. Now organizations working with large quantities of forms have the power to extract text, create indexes, and populate template fields automatically. The Zone OCR Plug-in is a must for any organization that wants to reduce manual data entry time and automate forms processing.
The Zone OCR plug-in extracts text from specific zones for automatic indexing of forms. This plug-in application minimizes repetitive key field entry. Users can assign minimum OCR accuracy levels and Laserfiche Zone OCR will display a "good" or "bad" result in a special Check field, signifying the accuracy of each OCRed form.
The Laserfiche Zone OCR Plug-in streamlines the process of bringing forms into Laserfiche by allowing you to automate sorting and indexing based on form information. By assigning regions on scanned pages to items in your template fields, the Zone OCR Plug-in gives Laserfiche the power to automatically populate those index fields.
On an invoice form, for example, the Zone OCR plug-in could allow you to automatically extract a customer name, invoice number, shipping date, or any other information that can be found in a standard location on the form, and assign each as an index for that page. Forms are then instantly ready for lookup and retrieval, all in one easy scan-OCR-index step.
How to Use Zone OCR
To start, set the readable area of a form by specifying measurements. Afterwards, set minimum standards for the OCR process so that Laserfiche warns you if any form is not up to par. Now, simply scan the forms and let Laserfiche automatically extract text and populate template fields. It’s that easy!
