Uploading Documents without OCR

Uploading Documents without OCR

This newly added feature will help you upload documents in their original form without running OCR on them.


While uploading a document, you can click on the checkbox Auto OCR and unselect the option to upload the documents without running OCR on them. The Auto OCR checkbox will be selected by default, by unselecting it, you confirm that you want to upload the documents in their original form.


This feature will help you to save time by not running OCR on unnecessary documents. If the data in any document has been manipulated while processing OCR, you can delete the OCR-processed document and upload it again in its original format.


Moreover, OCR can be processed even after the document has been uploaded. Once the document has been uploaded, documents that require running OCR on can be processed for OCR by clicking on the Process OCR icon. 


What is OCR?

OCR = Optical Character Recognition, the identification of printed characters using photoelectric devices and computer software. 


This enables the Cloudoffis search function to locate and direct users to the page the figure or text is located.  

All documents converted will have OCR_ added to the front of the document name.
