Multiview Optical Character Recognition (OCR)

Our multi-view AI-powered OCR technology digitizes and searches text in images with high accuracy and speed, reducing errors and speeding up inspections in various industries such as electronics manufacturing and automotive.

OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is a technology that enables computers to recognize text in images and convert it into machine-readable text. This allows printed or handwritten texts to be digitized and made searchable. Our OCR models benefit from our highly efficient Multiview AI model and associated training.

Our reliable and fast text recognition guarantees quality and traceability for you. It reduces human error, speeds up inspections and ensures that all products meet quality standards. In electronics manufacturing, for example, OCR can read tiny markings on PCB components to verify correct placement and labeling or create a bill of materials (BOM) from the PCB. The situation is similar in medical or food technology with the OCR inspection of labels on packaging and containers.
