Large volume document scanning requires a high level of accuracy for it to prove cost effective when compared to manual data entry. Through their extensive research, Prime Recognition have identified that 66% of all lifetime imaging costs are attributable to correcting errors. For those processing a lot of documents, that could prove to be quite an expense over time.

To overcome this, Prime OCR uniquely incorporates six OCR engines which are automatically called upon to vote on documents that the primary engine has identified as difficult or of poor quality. Transym have partnered with Prime Recognition to integrate the TOCR engine into Prime OCR to add further accuracy and reliability to the solution.

Transym’s intensive testing, research and development processes have produced one of the best performing single engine solutions currently available.

“Prime Recognition continually evaluates OCR products to include with the six OCR engines we currently use in our voting system. As both a developer of OCR technology and a very sophisticated user of OCR technology we are in a good position to evaluate OCR products,” says Kenn Dahl, president of Prime Recognition Inc.

“Transym is the first new engine that we’ve tested in 14 years that is competitive with the leading engines. This is quite an accomplishment as the leading engines represent hundreds of man years of development, it is usually very difficult for relatively new companies to catch up. I look forward to what Transym can accomplish in the future building from their strong position.”

Transym are committed to further increasing the accuracy and reliability of our solutions. By creating products that are optimised for ease of integration, we enable partners such as Prime Recognition to frequently enhance their own offerings, maintaining their competitive edge and driving their performance forward.

Prime Recognition was founded in 1993 in Silicon Valley and relocated to the Seattle area in 2000. Internationally recognised for their high accuracy production systems they have won numerous awards including Best of AIIM, and Product of the Year from Imaging Magazine.
