WE SUPPLY THE WORLD’S LEADING COMPANIES WITH DATA FOR OCR SOLUTIONS
To help you build and improve upon your OCR algorithms, we have a variety of training data services available.
Whether you require data pre-processing, handwritten data creation, image data collection, or OCR image annotation services, Lionbridge can help you.
OCR Data Cleansing / Pre-Processing
Training an OCR text recognition model requires a lot of data. Depending on what kind of OCR training data you have collected, your images or files may need to be processed before feeding them to your algorithm for training. Some of our OCR data pre-processing services include noise reduction, binarisation, as well as image and text alignment.
Prepare your data for annotation or training. Contact us to learn more about our data cleansing and pre-processing services.
Handwritten Data Collection
With a global multilingual crowd and 20 years of experience in translation and linguistics, OCR data collection is a Lionbridge forté.
At Lionbridge, we can source thousands of contributors native in one of our 300 supported languages. Using our crowd, we can create custom handwritten data tailored to your specific project. You dictate what our contributors write, how they write it, and what language you want the data to be written in. We’ll assess the data for quality and formatting, then package it according to your specifications.
Utilize our crowd to create quality handwritten datasets. Learn more about our handwritten data collection services.
OCR Image Transcription
Aside from handwritten data entry services, we also provide image transcription for real, altered, computer-generated, or animated images. To aid in machine translation, we can also provide transcriptions for the same image in multiple languages.
With our own proprietary image transcription platform, we can build custom workflows to meet your needs. Learn more about our OCR transcription services.
Image Annotation for OCR Text Recognition
For training text recognition algorithms, you may require a large amount of images with annotated text. To label the text within images, we can provide bounding box or polygon image annotation. Harnessing our multilingual crowd, we can identify, flag, and annotate text in 300 languages.
