OCR Add-on for PaperCut Hive
Pop on your lab coat and help us brew cloud tech.
Perhaps you need to quickly search for and retrieve documents based on their content, rather than just their name. Or you might be struggling with cloud storage file sizes. Or perhaps you’re wasting valuable time manually splitting up your documents.
This Beta may be perfect for you.

About this brew

We've been hard at work building a new add-on for PaperCut Hive Integrated Scanning.
This add-on uses OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to turn your raw scans into useful, text-searchable PDFs.
It’s so much more than just OCR though. It includes:
- OCR (Optical Character Recognition)
- PDF/A
- PDF compression levels
- Blank page removal
- Batch splitting after blank page
- Batch splitting on page number
- Deskew
- Despeckle
Under the hood it's more than OCR
Want more details about OCR and the document processing features?
Look no further.
Feature | What it does |
---|---|
OCR | Optical Character Recognition adds a transparent layer of text to PDF files to make its text contents searchable. |
PDF/A | Ensures your scanned documents have long-term archival support in compliance with ISO standards. |
PDF compression | Provides 3 levels of compression to ensure organizations can find the right balance between file size and image quality. |
Blank page removal | Automatically excludes blank pages from your scanned document. |
Batch split after blank page | Insert blank sheets in a batch of documents to output separate PDFs from the same scan job. Great when, for example, a teacher scans school exams for a whole class. |
Batch split on page # | Takes a batch of documents and creates multiple PDFs according to a specified page count. |
Despeckle | Removes fine dust particles from the scan file. |
Deskew | Straightens angled pages for a better reading experience. |
