9. • Image Optimization for the Distributed Enterprise
• Prepares Images to Deliver Superior Accuracy: Cleaner images
produce cleaner data. NovoImage+ removes background noise, refines
character edges and automatically adjusts contrast to improve
recognition.
• Standardizes Quality: A device-agnostic solution, NovoImage+ can
apply the same rigorous standards to images captured by a wide variety
of peripherals.
• Puts the User in Control: Rather than relying solely on device-specific
presets, users can adjust default settings to optimize output for different
image sources or document types.
• Boosts Productivity: Improved images yielding greater accuracy
accelerate workflow by alleviating the need for human intervention to
correct errors, plus fewer false positives will result on data to be verified.
• Reduces File Size: NovoImage+ can reduce document image file size
for more rapid file transfer, more economical storage and more efficient
archiving.
• Automates Pre-Processing: Automated file and batch processing
frees up workers for other tasks.

15. Faster, more accurate, easier — and global
• No pre-sorting or pre-analysis of pages required
• 60X faster than OCR-based solutions — only uses OCR for
classification if document types are visually identical
• Automatic image enhancement is built in for faster and more accurate
document recognition and classification
• Quick and easy to set up, learn and use — just point and click to train
NovoDocufier to recognize document types — no need to define
complex rules; no technical specialists needed
