CROP & DESKEW

• Traditional deskew corrects the black & white image, resulting in jagged edges and artifacts.

• VRS deskews the gray image first and then converts it into a black & white image.

• VRS grayscale deskew produces crisper text.• Combined with VRS’ automatic text enhancement, OCR forms processing

systems produce up to 20% less questionable characters !
