Currently, this system has taken a leap in improvement, offering almost perfect precision digitization.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-como-funciona-o-ocr-nbsp\">How does OCR work?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>OCR software uses software to&nbsp;<strong>scan and digitize<\/strong>&nbsp;documents and images and transform them into an editable file.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For physical files, a scanner is needed to transform the file into something accessible, but in the case of digital files, software is enough to transform that document, photo, or image into an editable file.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The process for using an OCR is as follows:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Screenshot\u00a0<\/strong>The software receives the image, whether it's a photo, a scan, a printout, or a PDF;\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Preprocessing:\u00a0<\/strong>The system improves the image by adjusting contrast and removing noise to facilitate the separation of the background and text.;\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Segmentation<\/strong>\u00a0The software divides the image into parts, separating blocks of text, lines, words, and characters.;\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"4\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Character recognition<\/strong>\u00a0the system compares the visual patterns found, separating shapes and recognizing letters;\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"5\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Context Interpretation\u00a0<\/strong>OCR recognizes isolated characters, forming words and phrases, correcting possible errors.;\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"6\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Finalized text:\u00a0<\/strong>Finally, the file is converted into digital text, which can be copied, searched, and edited.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Current systems still count on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/actiosoftware.com\/en\/blog\/types-of-artificial-intelligence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Artificial Intelligence<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;to speed up the process, acting on character detection and context interpretation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-quais-os-tipos-de-arquivos-ocr-nbsp\">What are the types of OCR files?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, there are 4 distinct types of OCR, the simplest being optical mark recognition (OMR), intelligent character recognition (ICR), and intelligent word recognition.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Basically, your differences are:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Simple OCR:<\/strong>\u00a0recognizes printed characters in images and documents and transforms them into editable text;\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Optical mark recognition<\/strong>identifies filled marks in specific fields, such as circles, checkboxes, or squares;\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Intelligent character recognition<\/strong>\u00a0uses artificial intelligence to interpret letters and numbers written in different ways;\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Intelligent word recognition\u00a0<\/strong>recognizes whole words instead of analyzing only character by character.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-os-beneficios-dos-softwares-de-ocr-nbsp\">The benefits of OCR software&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The benefits of OCR software are linked to the transformation of physical or scanned documents into editable files and the reduction of manual labor.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To summarize, the benefits of these OCR softwares include:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Reduction of manual labor<\/strong>\u00a0reduces the need to manually enter information, saving time and reducing operational effort;\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>More agility in processes:<\/strong>\u00a0documents that used to need to be read and transcribed by people can be processed much faster;\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Fewer typos:<\/strong>\u00a0By automating data capture, OCR reduces common human errors in repetitive tasks.;\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Ease of searching for information:<\/strong>\u00a0Texts extracted by OCR become searchable, allowing for easier retrieval of specific words, numbers, names, or data.;\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Digitization and organization of documents:<\/strong>\u00a0helps companies convert physical files into digital documents, facilitating storage, classification, and access;\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Increased productivity<\/strong>\u00a0teams can dedicate less time to operational tasks and more time to strategic activities;\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Integration with other systems:<\/strong>\u00a0The extracted data can be sent to ERPs, CRMs, spreadsheets, financial systems, or management platforms.;\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Better information control and security:<\/strong>\u00a0Digitized documents can be stored with access permissions, backups, and traceability.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In summary, OCR software makes the<strong>&nbsp;faster document management<\/strong>, efficient, and reliable, contributing to process automation and the reduction of operational costs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/people\/cmbishop\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Christopher Bishop<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;Says in&nbsp;<em>Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning,<\/em>&nbsp;Intelligent OCR systems use probabilistic classification to interpret document patterns and infer categories from statistical evidence.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-como-a-ia-nbsp-auxilia-nbsp-o-ocr-nbsp\">How does AI assist OCR?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The integration of AI with OCR<strong>&nbsp;It facilitated the analysis process&nbsp;<\/strong>and creation of editable files. With this, while OCR identifies characters more rigidly, AI analyzes context and different writing styles and fonts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this, AI helps OCR understand texts with greater accuracy, interpret handwriting, understand the context of words, improve images before reading, and automatically classify documents.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some modern OCR models, like ABBYY or the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/pt-br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Microsoft<\/strong><\/a><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>already have integrated AI, assisting in the transcription process. In these cases, the system is also known as ICR.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In management, while OCR provides file data, AI&nbsp;<strong>Work the information to generate insights<\/strong>&nbsp;for management, collaborating with document management and facilitating decision-making.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And this partnership doesn't need to be limited to the OCR system, but can also be perceived outside of it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, in Actio's Document Management solution, in the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/actiosoftware.com\/en\/blog\/what-are-ai-agents\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>AI agents<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;integrated allow managers&nbsp;<strong>Collect the data present&nbsp;<\/strong>OCR document and process this information with ease, generating reports and insights for management.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-como-fazer-uma-gestao-de-documentos-com-ocr-nbsp\">How to do Document Management with OCR?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To make a&nbsp;<strong>Document management with OCR<\/strong>&nbsp;means transforming physical documents, scanned PDFs, and images into digital information that can be searched, organized, and used in corporate processes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To do this, physical or digital files must be transformed into editable and searchable documents by OCR software. This way, the company will have structured information, allowing it to easily find and classify files.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This model is&nbsp;<strong>especially useful<\/strong>&nbsp;for companies dealing with contracts, forms, regulatory evidence, audit documents, checklists, receipts, notes, reports, and operational records.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With OCR, the document ceases to be just a stored file and starts generating data that can feed workflows, controls, audits, indicators, and compliance processes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A common architecture for this type of management is:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Document, PDF, or image \u2192 Specialized OCR \u2192 Structured text and metadata \u2192 Document management and governance platform<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this way, OCR acts as an information capture and extraction tool, while document management organizes, controls, and tracks the use of these documents within the company.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-como-a-nbsp-actio-nbsp-ajuda-sua-gestao-de-documentos-nbsp\">How does Actio help your Document Management?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Actio is the ecosystem that gives purpose to data extracted by OCR, being the intelligence that directs this data towards the success of your corporate strategy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, the platform is not a specialized native OCR solution, meaning it does not act as its own document auto-reading engine.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your focus is on integrated corporate management, connecting strategy, risks, performance, processes, and people on a single platform, with data centralization and process automation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In practice, this means that the&nbsp;<strong>Actio&nbsp;<\/strong>can receive, store, organize, and manage documents within the company's processes.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through its solution&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/actiosoftware.com\/en\/document-management\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Document Management of Actio<\/strong><\/a>, The platform supports document control, attachments, evidence, audits, approval workflows, traceability, and integration with other management areas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, OCR allows your documents to be editable, and Actio ensures they are well-managed, which guarantees a good workflow for your document management.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This way, OCR reads and structures the data, while Actio organizes, controls, and transforms this information into traceable, auditable processes connected to company management.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Discover how Actio can help transform your static files into documents that support high performance in your management.&nbsp;<strong>Speak with one of our consultants<\/strong>&nbsp;to learn about Actio's Document Management Module.&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn what OCR is and how it works in practice.
