Optical Character Recognition (OCR) in RapidReview

  • Updated:

Learn how to convert an image-only PDF to a PDF with machine-encoded (searchable) text in RapidReview.

 

Instructions

  1. Open the request
    Select request.
  2. Click Launch RapidReview (wrench icon)
    Launch rapidreview.
  3. Click on the More Actions (three-dot) icon on the document card and select OCR file from the drop-down
    Three-dot icon on the document - select OCR file from the dropdown.
  4. Click the OCR file button on the pop-up window to confirm
    OCR file button.
    Note: The process of OCR will replace the original document with a machine-readable document. OCR as a service is not able to produce a fully readable document 100% of the time, and will largely depend on the document uploaded. You will not be able to undo this process. 
  5. An alert will inform you when your OCR process is complete. Depending on the size of the document this could take anywhere from 30 seconds to many minutes.
    Note: If your OCR was unsuccessful, it may be that the image was saved in a format other than image-only. Currently, images that already have some machine-encoded text are not able to be processed further by the NextRequest OCR feature. If your PDF has multiple image files (for example as a result of the scanning process) you may need to convert it to a simple raster image to use the NextRequest OCR function.
