We'd like to welcome you to SCAN Corporation. For over 25 years, an OEM leader in OCR, Barcoding and custom data collection needs. Our products and personal customer support are second to none. We hope to have the opportunity to prove this to you.
The challenge of automated data entry is to read data faster, more accurately, and at a lower cost than conventional keyboard data entry. SCAN Corporation meets this challenge by utilizing three of the premiere methodologies of data entry automation: Optical Character Recognition (OCR), Bar Code and Magnetic Stripe. Our full line of OCR and Bar Code readers includes all popular interfaces: keyboard wedge, serial RS-232, USB 1.1/2.0/3.0, OCIA, and PC add-in cards. Our OCR readers coupled with our proprietary designed software packages make our products the most unique, advanced and customizable OCR and barcoding products in the world.
Many people ask the question "Why use OCR technology over Barcode symbology?" OCR is better suited for data entry in a controlled environment for longer as well as smaller character data lines. Some OCR scanlines may contain more than 40 characters and a variety of valuable information such as a bill due date, customer account number, amount owed, type of service, etc. A common example is remittance processing, where data on utility bills or other turnaround documents need to be entered into a custom software system. Barcode is best suited where the primary function is to identify parts or items in harsh environments or where the media is to be used over and over again and consists of relatively few characters. A common example of this is the Airline Industry, identifying and tracking passenger luggage or articles. Barcodes are very tolerant to rough handling and harsh environments, but require much more space on a label or document than OCR. Inch for inch, OCR can hold 6 times more information than a standard barcode. The answer for many then becomes easy, OCR technology.
If you're looking for an OCR or BARCODE product that will automate the tedious tasks of manual keyboard data input; a product that will integrate with your current software to make scanning documents much easier and more efficient, we can help.
