OCR Add-On for PaperCut Hive

OCR Add-On for PaperCut Hive

Perhaps you need to quickly search for and retrieve documents based on their content, rather than just their name. Or you might be struggling with cloud storage file sizes. Or perhaps you’re wasting valuable time manually splitting up your documents.

About this Brew

OCR Add-on

We’ve been hard at work building a new add-on for PaperCut Hive Integrated Scanning.

This add-on uses OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to turn your raw scans into useful, text-searchable PDFs.

It’s so much more than just OCR though. It includes:

  • OCR (Optical Character Recognition)
  • PDF/A
  • PDF compression levels
  • Blank page removal
  • Batch splitting after blank page
  • Batch splitting on page number
  • Deskew
  • Despeckle

Under the hood it's more than OCR

Want more details about OCR and the document processing features? Look no further.

PDF/A

Ensures your scanned documents have long-term archival support in compliance with ISO standards.

PDF compression

Provides 3 levels of compression to ensure organizations can find the right balance between file size and image quality.

Blank page removal

Automatically excludes blank pages from your scanned document.

Batch split after blank page

Insert blank sheets in a batch of documents to output separate PDFs from the same scan job. Great when, for example, a teacher scans school exams for a whole class.

Batch split on page #

Takes a batch of documents and creates multiple PDFs according to a specified page count.

Despeckle

Removes fine dust particles from the scan file.

Deskew

Straightens angled pages for a better reading experience.
