Optimize Document Scanning...

By Using M-Files OCR to Generate Fully Searchable PDFs

Paper documents add little value to your business and require lots of effort to store and maintain. Depending on your scanning solution, the result is often a file that's searchable only by file name. But document scanning with M-Files includes OCR (optical character recognition) to transform paper documents to fully searchable content that can be very efficiently managed.

M-Files OCR is the document scanning solution from M-Files that works with any scanner type and is compatible with the file formats that you choose, including TIFF, JPEG, BMP, PNG and GIF. Working with eCopy? M-Files smoothly integrates with eCopy ShareScan and ScanStation for optimal capture of paper documents.

Getting started with M-Files OCR is easy. Simply add the M-Files OCR module to your M-Files document management software solution for effortless document scanning that's seamless and simple. Also, if you choose to use third-party scanning and OCR software, M-Files also supports it, providing a simple and configurable interface to allow you to connect directly with the third-party scanning and OCR solution of your choice.

With fully searchable PDF files, you can search and retrieve documents based on their content, and cash in on business assets you might not even know you had. Workflows and collaboration are vastly improved and you can expect dramatic increases in productivity when everyone on your team has the information they need when they need it.

Simply connect your M-Files software with M-Files OCR or use another third-party solution for document scanning that produces searchable PDF files from paper documents. M-Files converts the imported files into searchable PDFs so that a full-text search of scanned documents is possible. It's just that easy.

Converting your files to searchable PDFs does not affect the outward appearance of the documents. Users still see the original scanned image. Along with the actual image of the scanned file, M-Files stores the contents and metadata that are automatically generated in the scanning and OCR process which can then be used when searching the file. It's just that simple.

Based on the popular I.R.I.S. OCR technology, the M-Files OCR module provides extensive support for connecting M-Files directly to any type of scanner and eliminates the need for additional third-party document scanning and OCR software. If you choose to use third-party scanning and OCR software, M-Files also supports it, providing a simple and configurable interface to allow you to connect directly with the third-party scanning and OCR solution of your choice. It's just that flexible.
