What about Reducing Manual Data Input with OCR Technology - How does it work?
OCR stands for Optical Character Recognition, a powerful technology adopted by an increasing number of companies, especially the ones dealing with large number of documents, to reduce time spent on manual data input. However there are challenges when choosing the best software, since one thing is to get the data from the documents another thing is to know what to do with that data.  
That is precisely why Sage Developer – PaperLess Europe – developed a document management software that also integrates a powerful OCR engine for Sage, enabling businesses to convert PDF to OCR and afterwards automatically post all this data directly into Sage. This way you not only automatically capture the data from the documents but you also have a software that knows what to do with that data, being that this is something that only a solution seamlessly integrated with Sage could offer to Sage users.
