INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT:

Suppose you wanted to digitize a magazine article or a printed contract. You could spend hours retyping and then correcting
misprints. Or you could convert all the required materials into digital format in several minutes using a scanner (or a digital
camera) and Optical Character Recognition software.

What exactly is meant by OCR?

Optical Character Recognition, or OCR, is a technology that enables you to convert different types of documents, such as scanned
paper documents, PDF files or images captured by a digital camera into editable and searchable data.
Imagine youve got a paper document - for example, magazine article, brochure, or PDF contract your partner sent to you by email.
Obviously, a scanner is not enough to make this information available for editing, say in Microsoft Word. All a scanner can do is
create an image or a snapshot of the document that is nothing more than a collection of black and white or colour dots, known as a
raster image. In order to extract and repurpose data from scanned documents, camera images or image-only PDFs, you need an OCR
software that would single out letters on the image, put them into words and then - words into sentences, thus enabling you to
access and edit the content of the original document.

What Technology lies behind OCR?

The exact mechanisms that allow humans to recognize objects are yet to be understood, but the three basic principles are already
well known by scientists integrity, purposefulness and adaptability (IPA). These principles constitute the core of e-file
allowing it to replicate natural or human-like recognition.
Lets take a look on how e-file OCR recognizes text. First, the program analyzes the structure of document image. It divides the
page into elements such as blocks of texts, tables, images, etc. The lines are divided into words and then - into characters. Once the
characters have been singled out, the program compares them with a set of pattern images. It advances numerous hypotheses
about what this character is. Basing on these hypotheses the program analyzes different variants of breaking of lines into words and
words into characters. After processing huge number of such probabilistic hypotheses, the program finally takes the decision,
presenting you the recognized text.
What Principles is e-file OCR Based On?
The most advanced optical character recognition systems, such as e-file OCR, are focused on replicating natural or
animal like recognition. In the heart of these systems lie three fundamental principles: Integrity, Purposefulness and Adaptability.
The principle of integrity says that the observed object must always be considered as a whole consisting of many interrelated
parts. The principle of purposefulness supposes that any interpretation of data must always serve some purpose. And the principle
of adaptability means that the program must be capable of self-learning.
One does not have to be an OCR specialist to see the advantages of an OCR application built on the IPA principles. These principles
endow the program with maximum flexibility and intelligence, bringing it as close as possible to human recognition.

Recognition of Digital Camera Images

Images captured by a digital camera differ from scanned documents or image-only PDFs. They often have defects such as distortion
at the edges and dimmed light, making it difficult for most OCR applications, to correctly recognize the text. The latest version of
E-file OCRsupports adaptive recognition technology specifically designed for processing camera images. It offers a range
of features to improve the quality of such images, providing you with the ability to fully use the capabilities of your digital devices.

How to use E-File OCR?

To use the e-file OCR you have to visit www.efile_ocr.org. It is a free service so anyone can use this without paying the penny. First of all you have to
choose the format of file which you want to change into a .doc format then using the upload and convert facility you can change it into a
document file.
If anyone want to manage a track record of his/her tasks then he/she can sign up using their
e-mail or facebook account and save his/her task record.

What benefits does OCR bring to You?

Advanced, powerful OCR software allows you to save a lot of
time and effort when creating, processing and repurposing various documents. With E-file OCR, you can scan paper
documents for further editing and sharing with your colleagues and partners. You can extract quotes from books and magazines and
use them for creating your course studies and papers without the need of retyping. With a digital camera and E-file OCR, you
can capture text outdoors from banners, posters and timetables and then use the captured information for your purposes. In the
same way, you can capture information from paper documents and books for example if there is no a scanner close at hand or you
cannot use it. In addition, you can use OCR software for creating searchable PDF archives.
The entire process of data conversion from original paper document, image or PDF takes less than a minute, and the final recognized
document looks just like the original!
