Description

Make your documents entirely searchable using Aquaforest Searchlight's automated OCR solutions tailored for SharePoint, Office 365, and Windows platforms. This innovative tool effortlessly transforms non-searchable files—including image PDFs, scanned images, and faxes—into fully searchable PDF formats. To achieve this, these documents undergo optical character recognition (OCR) technology, which generates a text representation of the file's content, allowing for the merging of original page images with the extracted text. Consequently, this process enables effective searching within the files. For users with on-premises SharePoint, the installation of Searchlight on a local server is required, where it communicates with your SharePoint environment through standard Microsoft APIs, and all document processing is executed on the server hosting Searchlight. Furthermore, our comprehensive range of products is compatible with virtual machines, including Oracle VM VirtualBox, ensuring flexibility and efficiency in document management. This comprehensive solution streamlines your workflow while enhancing document accessibility.

Description

FreeOCR is a cost-free Optical Character Recognition software designed for Windows, enabling users to scan from a majority of Twain scanners while also allowing the opening of various scanned PDFs and multi-page TIFF images, in addition to commonly used image file formats. This software generates plain text and facilitates direct export to Microsoft Word format. Utilizing the advanced Tesseract (v3.01) OCR engine, FreeOCR comes with a user-friendly Windows installer, making it straightforward to navigate, with support for multi-page TIFF documents, Adobe PDFs, fax documents, and various image types, including compressed TIFFs that the Tesseract engine cannot read independently. The latest version, FreeOCR V4, incorporates Tesseract V3, which enhances accuracy through improved page layout analysis, resulting in more precise outcomes without relying on the zone selection tool. Additionally, FreeOCR has the capability to scan and save images as JPGs, while plans for a "Scan to PDF" feature, which will include an option to save as a searchable PDF, are currently underway. This robust software is ideal for both casual users and professionals looking to streamline their document processing tasks.
