PaperStream IP - accurate and fast OCR
PaperStream IP makes it easy to convert scanned documents into optimized images of exceptional quality.
PaperStream IP is the foundation of high-quality scanning
PaperStream IP driver enables scanner solutions Ricoh consistently produce images of exceptional quality, reducing operating costs and supporting downstream processing. Cleaner, more accurate images provide industry-leading OCR accuracy, and optimized file sizes mean faster, less expensive storage and access. When you have PaperStream IP, you don't need to install any additional software - text recognition will be automatic thanks to the OCR tool on your computer.
PaperStream IP software offerings
Unlocking the value of information and increasing organizational productivity. With the development of EZD and document archiving PaperStream has carved out software that recognizes text after installation and facilitates daily work in public institutions and offices. You can use the software without worrying about data security and converting, searching and recognizing text. Thanks to machine learning, today's OCR methods are at an extremely high level, as you can experience by performing a scan and download for data recognition - excluding some text parameters, set by yourself in the configuration. You can set all the parameters individually to ensure that the extracted text is converted, for example.
Exceptional image quality
Invariably, high-quality images are essential for faster, cheaper operations in a company or institution. Converting documents to files on your computer is standard. With the introduction of text recognition and the use of automation, you don't need to download files, you can store them immediately in the cloud or servers. So it is not necessary to convert to low-quality pdf files to take up as little storage space as possible. All this to take care of the safety of text data (txt files) and to open a document of excellent quality on a computer or other device if necessary.
Industry's highest OCR accuracy rates
iDTC is a unique method of distinguishing and enhancing black and white characters from the background of documents, enabling the highest OCR accuracy rates in the industry. It enables accurate scanning of invoices or archive documents. Text recognition with PaperStream IP is at the highest possible level. Searching for data in scans becomes very easy, which promotes time savings during the workflow.
Powerful automatic image cleaning
bAdvanced cleaning technology maximizes image quality by removing noise, spots, watermarks and red marks. The system's conversion allows recognition of the smallest characters, but with automatic document cleaning - both pdf files and images (supported formats: jpeg, png) or text files recognize the text proper, without individual characters (noise).
Automatic image correction
The combined automatic rotation, automatic straightening, automatic cropping and blank page detection provide a perfect OCR image in a format suitable for the user. Files prepared at scanning can be downloaded for further procedures without additional processing, or can be immediately uploaded to a server.
Pothole removal and edge repair
All image (or text) correction processes are done with care for document security. Holes are filled - both in color and black and white - and rough edges of the document are corrected with the removal of small tears.
Simple operation of the system
Easy-to-deploy optical character recognition software, easy to use for your team's instant productivity. Simply run the software to use OCR to recognize text, search for relevant data and handle a file of documents quickly. This is the way to automate archive handling you're looking for - the system is not complicated, as all it takes is one document scanning training and the user is ready to go.
Step by step profile creation
Intuitive administrative menus and interfaces save time when creating scanning profiles. With OCR, your company will gain valuable time that you can use for other activities (such as marketing). With the creation of profiles, automation is enabled by the user at the touch of a button.
Assisted Scan
Visual performance-based profile configuration means that organizations don't have to learn and manipulate advanced driver settings to meet scanning requirements on the fly. Assisted Scan is also useful for quickly creating new profiles (e.g., for creating PDF files or recognizing only a portion of text).
Automatic profile selection
Set up automation in the scanner to automatically select the correct scanning profile for predefined form types. Create OCR and download converted documents - use optical character recognition to speed up your business.
Automatic detection of the front side
With PaperStream IP, the automatic front page detection feature is used when scanning ID cards. PaperStream ensures accurate scanning of these document types without the need for additional OCR setup.
Seamless integration
PaperStream IP can be easily paired with other PaperStream software, such as PaperStream Capture. An SDK for custom integration is also available. Converting OCR files will be done in the most convenient way for the user.
