OCR Online: OCR history

OCR history

OCR Online is the result of intensive research with one question in mind: How to capture data from paper in an automated process?

Twenty years ago EasyData was already considered the leader in its field. Initially, we started our OCR journey in 1999 with TextBridge, which was soon replaced by ABBYY FineReader, the best OCR Engine that time.

From the very beginning EasyData actively cooperates with ABBYY, acting as a distributor of their software products, as well as providing technical support to users.

Therefore, we will be glad to support you with all types of ABBYY technology.

Alternative OCR technology with OCR Online!

OCR development

More recently, many manufacturers have invested large amounts of time and money into reaching the best results in converting text to a usable digital format with the best OCR accuracy.

Consequntly, it brought many optical recognition technologies to the market. There is even an open source OCR Engine with pretty acceptable results.

Given the above, we have wondered many times: how to achieve a balanced price / quality ratio for our projects? Finally, after many years of development and realizing customer projects, EasyData has found the perfect solution. And now we present an alternative OCR technology with OCR Online!

Innovation is the ability to see change as an opportunity, not as a threat

OCR practice

For two decades the EasyData OCR knowledge has been used for various OCR solutions. E.g., from newspapers that require 99 percent accuracy to invoice reading, where 100 percent OCR accuracy is required. Based on smart business tools, we are able to fulfill most of our customers’ OCR needs. However, we do not stop there as our goal is to transform innovative technologies into ordinary services that everyone can use, e.g., Cloud OCR. In this respect, the scanned product brochure below shows the results of EasyData OCR compared to another OCR Engine.

Horse vs. Automobile
BEFORE you discard your horse ahd buy an autoit is well to think of the cost.
Figure how much you spend for harness and then think of what new tires amount to.
Figure up what it takes to feed-Dobbin in a year and then think of gasoline, repairs and storage charges.
Dobbin is worth what you paid for him two years ago, where’s the man with an auto that can say the same? Come in and get a new harness instead of a new car and remember that Dobbin will take you through snow and mud as well as on good roads and that his carburetor i is never out of order.

As shown above, the quality of OCR can be improved by intelligent image enhancement algorithms provided by EasyData. I.e., with our Cloud OCR solution, you can use a variety of configurations. Naturally, our OCR specialists are ready to help you start your OCR project and will control the quality of text recognition throughout the project.

OCR alternative

Obviously, converting millions of documents into third-party commercial products is an extremely costly task.

Moreover, the speed of processing is interesting for more than just data extraction. Processing large volumes in a short time gives the user or analyst the best fundamental capabilities for machine learning and data analysis. Not to mention, we can also connect machine learning algorithms to OCR results for data extraction.

Given this, our goal was to create a high quality and fast text OCR Engine. And we did it. Now our Cloud OCR processing station easily handles 5 million pages from an image file to a recognized PDF/A document within 24 hours.

So, tell us about your project, and we will find the best solution for you.

OCR Online and beyond

Of course, EasyData OCR is a smart, fast and inexpensive technology with good recognition quality. However, today’s OCR technologies are used not only in the field of text recognition, they are directly related to data analysis and machine learning. The world of OCR technology has changed dramatically.

As part of our clients’ projects, EasyData processes millions of documents online, extracting project-specific data from them in our OCR cloud. Logically, the next step is to analyze the data based on the extracted content. For this reason, we use OCR when processing images.

As today documents are increasingly being created immediately in digital form, it eliminates the need for any kind of OCR technology. It is exactly for such documents that we created PDFCommunicator. The perfect solution for a smart office!

Bring OCR Online to the future

Our OCR specialists receive requests for handwriting recognition from time to time. “ICR” stands for Intelligent Character Recognition, which implies a different approach to recognition, because handwritten text is always unique and cannot be catched by font type and size.

Nevertheless, we were able to get great results with machine learning. Now EasyData can recognize handwritten characters in documents and automatically make them accessible for digital interpretation.

OCR in the Cloud

Using OCR Online you don’t need to configure expensive technical equipment. It is a secure and scalable solution that attaches to Microsoft Azure, NextCloud, or whatever platform you prefer to use. EasyData OCR service can be considered as the most flexible and efficient SaaS OCR solution on the market today.

We offer users a stable Cloud-based OCR solution up until machine learning models. Advanced OCR technology at your doorstep.
