• Low Throughput
• Required Large Office Space

The only choice to replace the traditional data keying systems, is automatic data entry systems. This systems have many advantagesm such as:

• Reduce Time
• Cut Cost
• Improve Efficiency and Accuracy
• Scaleable to Large Systems

There are 3 main technologies to enter data into computer systems:

• OCR: Optical Character Recognition for machine-printed text
• ICR: Intelligent Character Recognition for hand-written forms
• OMR: Optical Mark Reading for special data entry project

By considering above facts, HODA System offers it's customers a full range of automatic data entry systems, based on different advanced technologies. For more information please visit products page.
