OCR Demo (PDF)

dtSearch "white papers", scanned from paper copies.

Searching of OCR files with "hidden text" highlighting:

• PDF files display complete original images of the OCR'ed documents.

• The text is "hidden" in the sense that simply opening the PDF file displays only the scanned image, not the underlying OCR'ed text.

• Because the OCR'ed text is "hidden" in the file, however, dtSearch can index and search it.

• After a search, dtSearch Web can highlight hits in the OCR'ed text so that the highlights appear directly on the scanned image.

Shakespeare (XML)
Works of William Shakespeare, converted to XML.

Searching of XML data with:
• searches limited to precise combinations of fields and subfields in hierarchical XML data (as well as full-text searching)
• highlighted hits
• multiple hit and file navigation options
