Optical character recognition (OCR)

Document's OCR function is an automatic process that uses optical character recognition (OCR) to check PDFs for unextractable text and converts to searchable text. This feature is available for PDF documents that are A4/Letter size or larger and written in English. Only files in the Document module are considered by the OCR function.

OCR functionality is enabled at the project level.(Project settings > Document > Upload > Enable OCR PDF's on document upload).

The OCR process runs in the background every 15 minutes.

When the OCR process completes, the document view file is replaced with the new version, and a corresponding entry is created in the Document History.
