Panasonic Debuts Fastest, Most Accurate PDF OCR & Management Solution

PremierOCR Solution offers near real-time creation of small, highly accessible & easy to process files

NEWARK, N.J.--()--Panasonic System Communications Company of North America, Division of Panasonic Corporation of North America, an industry-leading producer of best-in-class document management and imaging solutions, today introduced PremierOCR Solution Powered By Panasonic Scanners, a dramatically advanced PDF OCR, compression and conversion solution for high-volume corporate environments.

Incorporating image processing, industry-leading real-time OCR accuracy, advanced compression and numerous other state-of-the-art advanced technologies including batch multi-threading and encryption in a single step, PremierOCR Solution make files smaller, faster, easier to process and fully searchable for unparalleled access speed.

"PremierOCR is a leap forward in processing, storing and working with large volumes of PDF files," Joseph Odore, Product Manager for Document & Imaging Products, Panasonic System Communications Company said. "It not only integrates with existing workflows, it improves them by producing significantly more manageable documents. PremierOCR Solution generates the most efficient PDF files available allowing organizations to spend less time managing their digital files and more time on value-producing tasks."

Intelligent pre-processing combined with the highest OCR accuracy rates in the industry makes PremierOCR Solution dramatically faster than other leading OCR products and enables it to process scanned image documents, electronic PDFs, or complex hybrids of both in near real-time. PremierOCR Solution also utilizes its super-accurate OCR capability to render precise editable and searchable files from multi-directional, color, low-contrast text, barcodes and other data types.

"Advanced image processing techniques such as auto-rotation, despeckling, foreground/background separation, and resampling drive our OCR engine to monochrome and more full color recognition than other leading OCR engines in real document, real-world tests," Odore said. "More accurate OCR translates into more reliable text-searches, more accurate data extraction, more automated document-centric processes, and ultimately more efficient employees."

Using the latest in image-compression technology, PremierOCR Solution shrinks typical black and white scans by a factor of 5x-10x (compared to TIFF G4) and color scans up to 100x (compared to JPEG) without any reduction in image quality. Extracted files look exactly the same as the originals and can be viewed with Adobe Reader or any other compatible PDF reader.

By creating ultra-compact, web-friendly PDF files, PremierOCR Solution allows documents to be e-mailed, accessed, shared, and stored more efficiently. File compression leads directly to faster download and upload speeds for documents, allowing for swifter transmission over cloud and mobile platforms.

Other features of the multi-faceted PremierOCR platform include near real-time 10 pages/core/second processing of multi-page documents, export of OCR'd text to .docx and epub formats, reduction in the number of servers large organizations need to dedicate to document processing and reduction in the need for inefficient and frequently inaccurate manual data keying.
