” I was on a training course for some document management software which had many advanced features, mostly based on its OCR engine – but their engine was really bad at reading the example documents. For example, not getting any text, mainly due to co-joined chars, dot matrix print, stamps etc. So, since I base my DM product on Transym’s OCR, I thought I’d just download the demo and do a comparison. As you will see from the attached [actual example from the class] your OCR engine got an almost perfect result. Even reading the rubber stamps text. I have to admit that even I was surprised by how much better it was, considering the guy had spent half an hour trying to make their ‘image enhancements’ fix the OCR, without any success. I knew your OCR was good, but this was really quite impressive. Compared to the rather less than useful OCR from their rather expensive product. When you take into consideration that these products sell based on the usefulness of functions like full text search, the quality of the OCR is critical, even if the end user never actually sees the OCR result.”
