OCR, or Optical Character Recognition, is a technology that converts scanned fax images into editable and searchable text. With iFax, you can use OCR to automatically extract text from faxes, making it easier to copy, search, and organize important information without retyping documents manually.
Many faxes arrive as image-based files, which can be difficult to work with if you need to reuse or analyze the text. OCR solves this problem by digitizing the content, allowing you to edit, search, or integrate faxed information into databases, reports, or other workflows with minimal effort.
OCR for fax documents typically includes:
Text Extraction: Converts scanned images or PDFs into editable text
Searchable Files: Makes faxes indexable for quick keyword searches
Multiple Languages: Supports recognition across various languages
Integration: Works with cloud storage, CRMs, and document management systems
Automation: Batch processing for high-volume fax conversions
Accuracy Improvements: Advanced OCR algorithms reduce errors in text recognition
By using OCR with iFax, you transform static fax images into actionable data. This saves time, reduces manual entry errors, and helps organizations streamline document workflows. Whether you need searchable archives, editable contracts, or quick access to specific data, OCR makes faxed documents far more useful and efficient.
