BOULDER, Colo. and PARIS, Post-Expo Stand C60, Oct. 3 /-- Parascript(R) LLC, the Intelligent Recognition technology provider for mail automation, today announced the availability of its flagship product, Parascript(R) AddressScript(R), for Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands and Canada.
"The Parascript universal OCR product suite supports our business strategy to be fully compatible with emerging open interface standards," said Jeff Gilb, president and CEO of Parascript. "We remain committed to developing technology that meets the automation needs of the global postal environment."
The universal OCR solution is based, in large part, on the use of independent "learning" modules, resulting in automated customization to country-specific writing styles and addressing standards. Benefits include: lower customization expenses, shorter implementation time, increased recognition performance and improved system reliability. AddressScript surpasses all other available OCR engines in read rate and accuracy, reads both handwritten and machine-print text, and recognizes addresses across the entire mail stream, including letters, flats and parcels.
