OCR
Optical Character RecognitionThe process of converting text embeded in images into machine-encoded text. (OCROptical Character Recognition) converts received and sent fax content to text. Due to the nature of fax technology, the content of sent and received is not usable by the system. By converting faxes to text, the fax content is more usable, for example, by enabling users and administrators to search through the fax content.
