Frequently Asked Questions

How to accurately convert images to text?

Converting images to text can take a long time when done manually and is also prone to human error. Next to that, it is time consuming, expensive, and a daunting task to do.

With an Intelligent Document Processing solution like Klippa DocHorizon, data can be extracted and converted to the format of your choice. How? The software uses both OCR and AI algorithms to detect important fields and extracts them from images. 

This is only possible because the OCR engine has been trained with millions of document samples. Over time, the algorithms have learned which data fields have to be extracted based on images and the recognized document types. 

Why use OCR to convert images to text?

Businesses receive a lot of images that entail important information. But this format doesn’t allow for further processing of data.

Therefore, it is important to convert an image into editable text and thus enable the company to work with the extracted data using OCR converters. The extracted data can then easily be saved in the company’s database.

How can OCR transform your business?

With OCR, manual data processing is history. Accelerate the success of your business by automating your document-related workflows and freeing up your employees from daunting data entry tasks.

You’ll not only save time, but also decrease your costs, increase employee engagement and gain more accurate data due to minimized data entry errors.

With the right OCR solution, you can scale up your business operations without increasing your overhead costs.

Which document file formats can be processed with OCR?

The file formats that can be processed depends on each individual OCR software provider. However, Klippa’s OCR software can convert any of the PDF, PNG, JPG file formats to PDF/A, XLSX, CSV, XML, JSON, and many others. 

The output format of our software can be adjusted according to your needs and use cases. 

Why is extracting text from images difficult?

There are several reasons for why it is difficult to extract text from images: 

1. Scanned images don’t contain any text that can be selected and then extracted. 

2. Often, images are not clear enough and the quality is low. Then it becomes very difficult for the OCR to read out the text. 

3. Furthermore, when the format of a document differs and has variations, it becomes difficult for the OCR to detect the important fields. 

Despite the difficulties, Klippa’s AI-embedded OCR software is able to extract text from images in a faster, more accurate and cheaper way than traditional template-based OCR solutions.

What are the other ways to convert images to text?

There are different ways to convert images to text. Of course, you can find free online solutions for OCR.

Usually, they work perfectly fine for lower document volumes and convert images to text in an accurate way. But often, these online tools come with their limitations, as scalability is limited and the integration into your company’s system non-existent. 

One interesting way to extract text from images is using Google Docs OCR. You can upload an image to Google Drive and then open it with Google Docs. It will automatically extract the text from the image and display it below the image. 

Once you need to process high volumes of documents, a paid OCR solution would be advisable. That way, you can ensure to get proper service and, depending on the vendor you choose, custom solutions.     

What about privacy & security?

By default, Klippa does not store any customer data. Data is always processed under a data processing agreement (DPA) and all service from Klippa are compliant with GDPR.
