Text recognition (OCR)


The automatic text recognition and keyword search for your documents
With the text recognition (OCR) of LECARE you get the possibility to search all your e-mails, PDF-, Word- and Excel-documents, which you have stored centrally in your electronic file management, for certain keywords and to display them.

Scanned documents, e.g. Judgments, contracts and documents can be searched and evaluated for specific content in a matter of seconds.
The automatic text recognition – together with the electronic file management of LECARE – forms the optimal solution for your department!

  • All benefits at a glance

    • Simple text and keyword search in all electronic documents (full text search)
    • Automatic text recognition within your scanned image and PDF documents (contracts, deeds, judgments, etc.)
    • Faster editing of documents through integrated selection tool

  • Detailed information and technical details

    Automatic conversion of files
    After activating the OCR functionality, all image PDF files, e.g. scanned documents such as judgments, deeds or contracts, are automatically converted. All existing image PDF files (but also pure image files like JPEG or TIFF) can be converted manually by a right-click command of the user (multiple selection possible).

    Searching the content of documents
    The OCR text recognition module helps you to search all documents. After conversion to a text file, the entire text can be searched for keywords that occur in the document. This allows you to search for content within documents without having to read the document. In addition to PDF files, Word or Excel files and e-mails in particular are searched.

    Simple editing
    Once the scanned documents have been converted, text selection tools are available in the PDF documents to make it easier to copy text elements from the document. This helps you if you want to edit the text in Word, for example. Save yourself the time of typing. The recognition rate after a conversion depends on the machine readability of the respective document.
