Desktop Search allows you to search your computer files & emails. It is designed to find the most relevant information on your PC, including Office files, Outlook emails & attachments, text documents and multimedia files. As a standalone application, it creates a keyword map (index) to unlock unstructured data. Instead of investing in a large & expensive enterprise search solution, a desktop search is a quick & easy installation to increase your productivity while being extremely secure. The Desktop Search is offered on a yearly subscription so that our clients always get the latest and newest features as soon as it is available.

What is Image to Text Recognition?
With the launch of Version 7, we added a brand new technology that greatly complements our search engine. You are working and you need to digitize a document. You could lose a lot of time to re-create the document or you could use our Copernic Desktop Search with Image to Text Recognition (Additional fee may apply from the full version) to convert your documents into digital formats in a few seconds using a scanner and an Optical Character Recognition software (OCR).
What is OCR?
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a technology allowing you to convert different types of documents, such as scanned paper documents into editable and searchable content.
Copernic Advantage
Most organization needs to buy a search engine plus an Optical Character Recognition software. The advantage of having Copernic Desktop Search with Image to Text Recognition is you only have to buy one tool compared to Abby or OmniPage, and it does everything!
How does it work?
You receive an invoice by mail and need to import it into your accounting system but from time to time, you need to be able to search all your invoices. A scanned document will not be very helpful as the content won't be searchable. By scanning it, you only create an image or a snapshot of the document, which is nothing more than a collection of black and white. To extract the data from scanned documents, you need an OCR software that would convert pdf into searchable text and put them into words, thus enabling you to extract and search the content of the original document.
How to use it?
Using Copernic Desktop Search with Image Text Recognition is very simple as you have no manipulation to do except to scan the document. So, you start by scanning your document, you open Copernic Desktop Search with an activated Image Text Recognition module, you let Copernic index the content of your files & documents and then you launch a search. DONE! You simply continue using Copernic as you were before but as it needs to scan and convert the content of those scanned documents, the indexing process may be slowed down.
