We’ve been refining our OCR engine (TOCR) since 2002. Over that time TOCR has evolved from an innovative piece of software to a fully scalable, robust and accurate solution used by thousands of government bodies and corporate clients across the globe.
TOCR is specifically designed for ease of integration – and most of our clients are large-scale integrators, looking for a fully tested solution.
Industry leading accuracy and reliability are the driving forces behind Transym. However, over the last decade we’ve refined TOCR to the point where it now offers an impressive range of benefits for integrators:
The importance of accuracy for a high return on investment
High volume document scanning requires precision accuracy to be cost effective when compared to manual data entry. For example, through their extensive research, US-based OCR specialists 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 added expense over time.
TOCR’s industry leading accuracy means that your results show fewer mistakes across all scanning and document types. Your batches can be completed quicker and with less checking time. All of this means increased efficiency and performance that could have a significant positive impact on your bottom line.
Ease of Integration
TOCR’s easy to use interface and non-invasive code mean that you can create your own robust in-house and commercial OCR solutions fast, and at little cost.
Our product is specifically designed with integration in mind, unlike some one-size-fits-all packages that that are not customisable for developers.
We’re the only provider of OCR solutions to include a free software development kit, not only in the full product version, but in our free trials.
Reliable – fewer mistakes, less downtime
Failure to recognise characters and words results in a high number of reported errors and can cause some OCR software to crash or hang. During unattended or batch processing of large amounts of data, this is a significant problem and seriously impairs productivity (and therefore profitability).
- TOCR is one of the most stable, accurate and reliable engines on the market.
Transym’s intensive testing and training process utilises over 108,000 image files, producing an engine that is not only highly accurate but also extremely robust. This minimises the number of errors encountered, and maximises the efficient handling of those that do occur.
Maximum character accuracy
There are dozens of things that can interfere with an OCR engine’s ability to accurately read a character. From broken letters to underlined text – all of these hurdles can slow down performance and increase the need for human intervention.
- Through our testing process, TOCR is trained against real life multi-lingual examples of documents and images that have been subject to such distortions.
- TOCR’s ability to recognise is optimised for maximum character accuracy – saving you time, effort and money in the long run.
Maximum word accuracy – in 45 different languages
In some circumstances a character can be recognised correctly but in the context of a certain word it can be incorrect. For example, in many fonts the image for o and 0 or 2 and Z can not only be similar, but in some cases identical.
Just recognising the character is therefore not enough, some reference must be made to a collection of commonly used words to choose the right option.
Most other OCR solutions use libraries or dictionaries to perform this function. These are static repositories which are language specific and can struggle to cater for the adoption of new words or the inclusion of quotations and phrases from other languages such as French or Latin which are commonly used, especially in legal and medical documents.
Cost Effective
TOCR is the best value for money OCR software on the market. Not only does our package cost less to purchase than our leading competitors – but our unrivalled accuracy will help you save even more in the long run.
You can download our trial version of TOCR, and our full version comes with a free software development kit as standard. Most other companies will charge you over $1000.
We’re confident that our OCR software is one of the most cost effective available. However, it’s not just in terms of your initial investment that TOCR offers great value for money…
