AVATAR TECHNOLOGIES AND PRIME RECOGNITION ANNOUNCE SUPPORT FOR HIGH ACCURACY "VOTING" OCR IN EnMasse! THROUGH PrimeOCR April 11, 1995 - San Francisco, CA - Avatar Technologies, Inc. today at AIIM'95, announced support for PrimeOCR in their EnMasse! Independent Batch Image Capture and Conversion System. This integration provides both high volume image capture and highly accurate OCR conversion all in one package. Higher Accuracy through PrimeOCR's "Voting" Technology Developed for the production OCR marketplace, PrimeOCR is a Windows 3.1 based software OCR engine and Application Programming Interface (API) toolkit. Using a combination of proprietary "Voting" algorithms and technology licensed from the best retail OCR vendors, PrimeOCR is able to reduce OCR errors by an average of 65% over conventional OCR products. This reduces the cost of manual error correction by 65%, which often accounts for over 50% of the total annual imaging system cost. And, since PrimeOCR provides better accuracy on lower quality images, end-users can now cost-effectively OCR many of those images that used to be keyed in by hand. PrimeOCR also has upgrade options that provide 75% and 80% higher accuracy. "Avatar has been interested in Voting technology for some time. We chose PrimeOCR because of its superior accuracy and resulting costs savings that we can pass on to our customers," said William Duckett, Vice President of Marketing and Sales for Avatar Technologies. "PrimeOCR even supplies more accurate "suspicious" character flags as well as line and character coordinates, all of which lead to a better display of questionable characters and more efficient OCR error correction in our Text Verification module."
