OCR: text recognition

What it will do

Some offices need text recognition for scanned records without wanting a generative assistant — and some are not allowed one. The OCR add-on is for them: scanned PDFs and images become searchable, and Find and redact and redaction rules work on their text. With the Media add-on, it also reads text that appears in video frames.

Today: OCR comes with AI Assist

Until the OCR add-on goes on sale, text recognition is part of AI Assist, with 2,000 pages a month. It is processed in your data region by Azure AI Document Intelligence and needs no AI permission — unlike AI Assist's other features (why).

Planned price

The price planned for when the add-on goes on sale. It may change before then.

List prices, plus applicable taxes. The billing country your Administrator chooses before the first purchase sets the currency: Canadian dollars in Canada; US dollars in the United States — the same numbers — and in countries not listed here; euros in the euro area; pounds sterling in the United Kingdom. An add-on is billed on your plan's interval, monthly or yearly; the yearly price is ten times the monthly one.

More OCR pages Coming later

A bundle of 500 OCR pages is planned as well.

When it goes on sale

An Administrator will add it in Settings → Subscription → Add a module, like any other add-on. No date is set.
