Philosophy of Conversion and Workflow Practices

Problem

Today's conversion needs require a high level of automation. If the automation is based on uncorrected OCR data with fully automated conversions, only a small percentage of documents will provide an acceptable level of performance, sophistication and accuracy needed for the handling of complex documentation.

Solution

ELAN GMK combines a high degree of automation (batch processing) with efficient user interaction. Fast viewing and navigational tools as well as extensive quality control mechanisms ensure an efficient workflow with high productivity and excellent output quality.

System Requirements

Windows 95/98, NT/2000. Pentium III processor, 128 MB RAM, 10 GB free hard drive space, 1024 x 768 screen resolution.
