Faxes are received as graphic images and are static and unchangeable. With the OCR Module, RightFAX can automatically scan the graphic images for recognizable characters and create dynamic, editable text files which can be imported into any application for annotation.

OCR can also be used as a form of automatic inbound routing in place of, or in addition to, DID (direct inward dial), DNIS (dialed number identification service), DTMF (dual-tone multi-frequency), or channel routing which may require extra phone lines or extensions. After scanning the first page of each received fax for pre-specified keywords - such as title, function, name, department, or telephone extension - the fax server routes faxes that contain matching keywords to associated fax mailboxes.

Unlike other OCR software which must be installed on each workstation, the RightFAX OCR Module resides on the RightFAX server, allowing every user on the network to process documents while working on other tasks. And it can be used in conjunction with other modules like the RightFAX E-mail Gateway to further automate faxing.

Used as a text converter or as a supplemental routing method, the RightFAX OCR Module adds unrivaled power and flexibility to your fax server. So, whether you send or receive 10 or 10,000 faxes a day, RightFAX is the right fax solution for your network.

Because it runs on the server, the RightFAX Enhanced OCR module can convert faxes into dynamic, editable text without tying up individual client workstations.

• More power and flexibility—Users can fax and receive working documents, not static pages.
• Enhanced OCR power—RightFAX auto-flip feature turns text right-side-up if necessary; skewed pages are corrected automatically.
• Provides an additional automatic inbound routing method—Saves the cost of extra lines and extensions. the RightFAX Enhanced OCR module scans the first faxed page for programmed key words—title, function, name, department or extension, for example—and routes the fax to a matching mail box.
• Fast conversion and routing—the RightFAX Enhanced OCR module doesn’t slow network performance, because you can distribute it across multiple server processes on one or more machines.
• Server resident—Unlike other OCR software, which must be installed on each workstation, the RightFAX Enhanced OCR module resides on the RightFAX server and never burdens the client machine.
