Pixel!OCR

Full featured OCR with easy to use learning and forms processing capabilities

Pixel!OCR uses a new advanced Optical Character Recognition engine to convert scanned documents to editable text, typically with greater than 99% accuracy. Virtually any document can be scanned, converted to text, and imported into any word processing or page layout file with ease. Pixel!OCR offers comprehensive batch OCR capabilities and has the ability to learn new fonts on-the-fly through its unique Omni-Learning mode. Pixel!OCR also performs automatic zone decomposition, zone typing and forms processing.

This member of the Pixel!FX family of integrated imaging products has application in a wide variety of markets. It has been designed to operate efficiently on all popular UNIX platforms. Displays supported include most monochrome, grayscale, 8-bit or 24-bit color display controllers.

It offers an icon-based user interface that includes complete point-and-click functionality. The use of tear-off menus and icon toolbars allows you to customize your display. Extensive drag and drop support gives you intuitive control of powerful image manipulation operations.

It also provides unprecedented speed and performance in the most demanding image processing environments. The result is increased user productivity with less time spent waiting for display refreshes and file saves.
