“We have significantly enhanced our OCR processing engine and expanded the number of languages we can process,” said Joseph Ziegler, Iris’ Director of Technical Services. “And using our virtual processor infrastructure, we have unlimited capacity by just adding more microprocessor cores.”
“Unity™ also now monitors the files it cannot process or doesn’t recognize, reporting on those exceptions so we can improve the breadth of files we process in the next release,” said Ziegler. “In this way, Unity™ improves itself from version to version.”
