If you have a ton of scanned PDF and other image files saved in cloud storage, how do you find what you’re looking for in a pinch? With Optical Character Recognition (OCR), it’s fast and easy. OCR extracts actual text from scanned images so all you need to do is search for your image using a term or keyword.
Dropbox eliminates the time-consuming task of processing large documents manually. Scan and store receipts, bills, photos, legal contracts, infographics from work, or even your next flight itinerary. When you’re ready to access these files from Dropbox, just input a text keyword in the search bar. A short list of words or thumbnail images will pop up so you can find your docs fast.
Just about any business can benefit from OCR technology for greater productivity. A lawyer, for example, can search for any case file simply by searching for a particular word. Banks, medical offices, and advertising and marketing firms can all use OCR to streamline their businesses and virtually eliminate the need to file and store physical paper docs.
