The chart gives some indication of the improvement in throughput that can be expected when using the multi-core module.

OCR Engines Modules

OCR engines are the components that perform the task of text recognition on image files and extraction. Aquaforest Searchlight ships with two OCR Engines namely the Standard OCR Engine and the Extended (IRIS) OCR Engine. Below is an explanation of the OCR Engines.

Standard OCR Module (Included with the standard product)

The Standard OCR Engine is included as a standard part of the product and can be used to convert Image PDFs and Images to searchable PDF documents. This engine has support of about 24 European Languages, but you can only OCR using one language at a time.

The Extended Engine has the following benefits over and above the Standard OCR engine:

  • Supports over 100 Languages.
