Generating OCR

The OCR function generates text of images and documents without embedded text. Several features use this generated text such as:

Keyword searching

Productions (exporting a separate .txt file for each document)

Predictive Analysis (Gist)

For the generated text to be available for keyword searching the data must be re-indexed to add the newly generated text files to the index.

To access the OCR functions:

Right-click on the filter tree and select "OCR..."

In the OCR dialog choose whether to overwrite existing OCR  and click Run to start the OCR process. Always replace the OCR after redacting documents.

When data sets involve additional languages the OCR can be optimized to recognize those languages.
