The Story of Optical Character Recognition

Optical Character Recognition has been improving lives & business practices since the early 1900s. Today businesses take advantage of document contract management software with Optical Character Recognition (OCR). By enabling quick conversion of scanned documents, OCR saves hours spent manually entering information. A key word search finds clauses, terms, or specific language that can be quickly reproduced, amended, or changed as needed. OCR also enhances your contract management to offer more efficient searches and trouble free edits of documents.
