Simple Zonal OCR is what its name implies, a simple to setup and use program that will OCR an area of a document.

Instead of offering numerous options that are never used, Simple Zonal OCR allows the user to only capture two zones. This captured data is used to move and rename the file.

Ideal uses for this product are the automatic filing of internal documents that contain a number, such as Work Orders, Shipping Documents, Delivery Tickets etc.

It utilizes the OCR engine found in Microsoft Office Document Imaging (MODI), This engine is one of the best in the world and it is part of the Microsoft Office Suite.

The logic used in Simple Zonal OCR was used in a custom application created by eDocfile. The results were audited by an independent firm and it was found that 1 out of a thousand documents failed and had to be manually indexed.

Features:
1. Simple to setup
2. Processes two Zones
3. Monitors a Folder for Images - completely automates the process
4. Uses EasyPatterns for validation
5. PDF and Tiff Output
6. On existing file - Replace, Append First, Append Last or Add Time Stamp
7. Quick Indexer for failed Files
8. Offers user Configurable Fuzzy Logic

How it works:
An image is pulled from a monitored (Hot) folder, an area of the image is extracted and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is applied to the area. Then utilizing Fuzzy Logic the OCR text is modified to correct for common errors. Such as a "1" being read as a "I". When this is completed an EasyPattern rule is applied. EasyPatterns are similar to Regular Expressions only very simple to configure.
