OCR processing a document allows scanned and machine-generated documents to be processed into a machine-readable text format.
We recommend OCR processing your document (or at least the pages you will be redacting) before you start redacting if:
- Text on scanned documents isn’t being read correctly.
- The document was poorly OCRed originally.
- You will know it isn’t OCRed well if you try to find and highlight words, and the system highlights random words instead of the entire sentence.
- There are images embedded in a document that contains text.
Get started
- Click on the OCR icon
in the toolbar on the left side of the screen, and a popup should appear.
- Select either “OCR all scanned pages” or “OCR all pages” (OCRs all types of pages including scanned and machine generated).
- Now under “Run OCR on”, select either “All Pages” or “Page Range”.
- Click “Process OCR”.
- A load bar should now appear at the bottom of the screen, indicating how far the OCR process is for your document.
Once complete, you can click on the OCR icon
