We have two OCR threads running in parallel. I would like to pursue this one, though I will quote from another.
To answer the above questions about Updox, Sandeep (and Melanie), the faxes (or emails) come into a folder, and everything in the folder is "sucked-up" into Updox. I don't believe there is any OCR in the process (as Marty says). Once the fax is in AC, I don't think it is any different from any other II item. So you can use Adobe Reader to view it, and with a paid Adobe product you can search it, but nothing more.
I appreciate the descriptions of OCR-pdf. I am still unclear about exactly what benefits they provide. Sandeep, you say that Acrobat Pro "can batch recognize text in Acrobat Pro...I.e. go back and OCR all of the II." That speaks to file conversion, but how about searching?
This is where OCR is useful. You can hit CTRL+F to find what you're looking for.
I assume that you can search
that individual file but am I correct that you cannot search across files in that chart, or across all patient's charts? If that is the case, what is the utility of the OCR conversion? Can you guys give me some examples of how you would use an AC that included all OCR-pdf's, as opposed to regular ones?
I know you can copy and paste from them; that seems of limited value.
