Throughput and Accuracy

  • Slower (six engines instead of one), but more accruate (over 99%)
  • Faster with larger files (processing overhead): 0.7 to 3.4 seconds per MB

Running PrimeOCR™

  • Write a job file to the Job folder:
  •    Prime Recognition Job File        
       Version=3.90        
       1        
       \\Smathersnt19\ScanTech\ScanQC\Complete\UF00016972\00116.tif        
       \\Smathersnt19\Prdev\Templates\UF70000002n001.ptm 
  • Job Server:
    • is a Prime Recognition™ program always running on the remote server
    • reads the locations of the TIFF image and the document template from the job file
    • processes the TIF file according to the template
    • outputs selected file types: PDF+Image and TXT
    • leaves the original, archival TIF unchanged in its folder.
