Improved OCR Software Now variations in document quality and typestyles won't slow down your optical character recognition (OCR) software if you're using Inovatic's ReadStar EX-PRESS. This OCR software has intelligent page analysis capability. Typically, automatic OCR systems can recognize a limited va

riety of fonts or typestyles that have been incorporated into their librar ies. With ReadStar EX-PRESS users can overcome this problem by select

ing the semi-automatic mode, which allows the system to recognize char acters for which the automatic ex pert systems was unsure. ReadStar

EX-PRESS automatically differen tiates between text, graphics, head lines and multiple columns at a single pass. Recognition of tables with for mat intact, portraits and landscape document formats, and automatic suppression of images and logos are

performed without user interven tion. The self-training software, which also integrates lexical and con textual analysis capabilities, then proceeds with character identifica tion automatically. ReadStar EX PRESS is the only OCR solution to ac complish all this without a costly hardware investment or memory up grades. The software operates on an IBM PC/AT or compatible, or PS/2,

with only 640k RAM. Suggested retail price: $995. Circle 164 on the Reader Service Card.
