Getting started
Say goodbye to scanned files
Optical character recognition software identifies letters, numbers, and words, transforming them into searchable digital text. By using Zylpha Bundling, you can quickly apply OCR (optical character recognition) to uploaded documents, thereby aligning with the latest HMCTS (HM Courts & Tribunals Service) guidelines for enhanced accessibility and compliance.
1. Collect files
Begin by gathering the files and documents together that you need OCR applied to. Then either upload them manually or via one of our software integrations.
2. Enable OCR
Adding OCR is easy - just turn it on! OCR will then quickly become an accessible and integral part of your document management process when you use Zylpha Bundling.
3. Automatic OCR
Zylpha adds OCR to all text in a file, this includes images as well as scanned documents. This ensures that every element, from text content to image-based data, is transformed into searchable text.
Court Guidance on OCR
Why is Optical Character Recognition (OCR) important?
Since May 2020, guidance from the Courts has contained explicit instructions that bundles must have OCR applied to them. This is irrespective of whether the bundle is submitted by a law firm, local authority, barrister or litigant in person. See: Electronic Bundles Court Guidance.
