Prime Recognitions award winning production OCR product, PrimeOCR was originally released in 1995. PrimeOCR is a Windows NT/2000/XP OCR engine that reduces OCR error rates by up to 65-80% over conventional OCR by implementing Voting OCR technology.

PrimeOCR reduces overall OCR processing costs by reducing the total number of errors generated from OCR and providing a level of reliability not available with other OCR engines.

PrimeOCR produces fewer errors

Todays best OCR engines are only achieving, on average, 98% accuracy, when recognizing typical quality images. On a typical page of 2000 characters, that means that 40 errors remain in the OCR output.

By using PrimeOCR, error rates can be reduced by 65-80%. This means that the 40 errors generated by todays OCR engines can be drastically reduced to 8 by using PrimeOCR.

PrimeOCR saves time and money

Although you may pay more for PrimeOCR, the total system and operating costs are much lower by using PrimeOCR.

In some OCR intensive applications, manual error correction cost, including manual labor, and verification workstations, can often be 50-70% of the total image system costs. By reducing the need for error correction, PrimeOCR saves costs associated with annual/project manual error correction labor, capital investment.

PrimeOCR produces cleaner data

Not only does PrimeOCR reduce the total number of errors during OCR, but it also reduces the total number of errors that make it into your database or final application by 75%.

Only 40-60% of errors generated by standard OCR software are flagged for correction. Since manual error correction typically only looks at flagged errors, this means that up to 60% of the errors produced by the OCR software are not reviewed and remain in the OCR data. PrimeOCR generates more accurate suspicious character flags reducing the total number of errors that remain in the data after processing.

The PrimeOCR Job Server - Production level reliability image processing

The PrimeOCR Job Server provides flexibility and dependability to process a large array of OCR processing options and a level of reliability to process thousands of images without error. Each job defines the images to process, any pre/post OCR processing options required, and the type of output. The OCR Job Server queues the jobs for batch processing, and displays completed job statistics for effective batch management.
