DocuXplorers Text Zone OCR process speeds up the process of performing manual data entry. Simply place OCR zones around the text that appears in your document and watch the information be transformed into text and placed in the selected Index Set fields. Save your OCR Zones as templates to be used over and over for documents that are arranged in the same format.
