DICOM FZE today announced Arabic OCR capabilities for Kofax Ascent, the world's most popular capture application.
Simple to configure and deploy, the new Arabic OCR engine for Kofax Ascent virtually eliminates the technical challenges associated with capturing and processing Arabic language content.
Kofax Ascent accelerates business processes by collecting paper documents, forms and e-documents; transforming them into accurate, retrievable information; and delivering the content into an organization's business applications and databases.
Developed as an add-on component for the Kofax Ascent platform, the new Arabic OCR engine reduces background noise and almost doubles the recognition rates of existing Arabic OCR engines. It integrates auto-rotation and auto-de-skew technologies that provide users with unmatched recognition-accuracy. Additionally, the new Ascent add-on supports PDF and plain text formats.
'We are excited to provide customers in the Middle East markets with Arabic OCR capabilities,' said Lars Jeppesen, managing director, DICOM FZE. 'This technology brings our customers unprecedented regional support for our leading information capture solutions, and meets the growing demand in the market for powerful Arabic language functionally.'
The Arabic OCR engine for Kofax Ascent is an ideal solution for both medium and large organizations.
