Considerable savings

Zissor has a long track record in optimizing the OCR process in both quality and performance - specialized for newspapers and magazines - for modern daily publications as well as for cultural heritage publications. The latest version of ABBYY FineReader 11 is embedded in our process, including the latest version of Gothic/Fraktur. We have developed productivity and quality enhancement options for optimizing outputs in an automatic OCR process including the possibility of adding external dictionaries for optimizing the OCR results. We also have efficient tools for quality control and editing when needed. This can be for checking article segmentation, tagging of articles or other metadata adding to a page/article. Again; it is flexible and adjustable from project to project..
