OCR is no longer a foreign concept for us.
We witness a lot of businesses leveraging Optical Character Recognition (OCR) programs as part of their daily operations — and now, Salesforce users also rave about its potential.
If you’re still unsure how OCR can add value to your business, let us help you learn about it in detail.
In simpler terms, OCR is a technology that recognizes text within an image. Businesses often use an OCR program to extract and repurpose data from scanned documents, camera images, and image-only PDFs. OCR software identifies individual characters, assembles them into words, and then forms complete sentences — that way, transforming static images into machine-readable text.
With advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), OCR has evolved to the next level. It’s no longer a conventional OCR that simply extracts information from a Salesforce document; it is an advanced solution that offers greater work efficiency.
Let’s discuss some key benefits of AI-powered optical character recognition technology in your Salesforce environment.
