Sakhr OCR Expands Coverage

Popular OCR Adds Cyrillic Languages and Turkish



Washington, September 4, 2001- Sakhr Software, the world's foremost
developer and publisher of Arabic and bilingual software, has added
six new languages, improved speed, and a variety of new features to
its popular OCR program.

Digitek International, North American distributor of Sakhr software
products, has just released the expanded version of Sakhr's popular
OCR, Al-Qari Al-Aali, to local markets. The OCR, a quick and accurate
way to convert scanned text images back into manipulable text files,
has long been popular bucause of its unique capacity for high quality
handling of Arabic and Farsi.

Now, Sakhr adds Turkish to the program's repertoire. Document
management specialists can work with all Middle Eastern languages
through a single product. The addition of five Cyrillic languages
(Russian, Greek, Polish, Czech, and Hungarian) complete's Sakhr's
coverage of European languages as well. Al-Qari Al-Aali also
recognizes bilingual Arabic/English and Farsi/English documents in a
single pass.

Users of the Professional version of the Sakhr OCR have multifaceted
multilingual capabilities. Sakhr has raised the product's speed to
800 characters per second (cps) from earlier levels fo 500 cps. The
Personal Archive bonus packaged lets users organize OCR images in
structured and hierarchical folders. Sakhr has added automatic and
manual image correction, image noise reduction and image zooming.
Another helpful new feautre is the ability to doublecheck the file
you select against its image before OCRing the image.

With the capability of recognizing and converting to text scanned
images in 19 leading languages (as well as ASCII symbols), the
enhanced Sakhr OCR program is now, more than ever, an indispensable
tool for publishers, researchers, catalogers and managers of document
archives.
