My welcome letter mentions that we get a free OCR unit. What is this?
Applies to
- CONTENTdm
Answer
- OCR stands for Optical Character Recognition
- An OCR unit allows you to extract searchable text from images using the CONTENTdm Project Client
- You may activate only one
Project Client per OCR unit. Your OCR unit can process up to 10 thousand pages per month. - In order for OCR to be implemented, each collection would need at least one designated field with a data type of Full Text Search. This can be either existing fields or a new field of your choice.
Additional information
For more information about activating and using the OCR unit features in the Project Client, see Using OCR.
