Unlock New Content You Didn’t Know You had with FUSE Optic™

Discover All of your Content

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a technology that captures text contained in images and video or handwritten notes and saves it in digital form. OCR works by analyzing the image and identifying the individual characters while AI helps make judgement calls using context and trained judgement where text legibility is an issue.

FUSE’s AI-assisted OCR technology extracts text from content you may have thought was undiscoverable until now. Pull content from sources like video, images and documents and have it feed your chat, search, and other content visualizations.

95%

Most video content comes, on average, with a title and a two hundred word long abstract. A video’s dialog and any presenting materials within make up 95%+ of the remaining content which is almost always undiscoverable without watching it.

FUSE recognizes in-video text and indexes it. Great for conference presentations or webinar recordings.

Video

When you’ve got a popular video with a ton of great insights worth sharing but the speaker wrote all the key points on a whiteboard during the presentation.

Seems like without downloadable slides, those ideas would be stuck on that whiteboard forever locked inside that video, but with FUSE Optic™ we can index that text and make it searchable

Images

When you’ve got some valuable information displayed within an infographic — or any other image — that you’d like to make findable.

No need for captions or metadata. Words once undiscoverable can now be pulled out and referenced digitally through our OCR and AI offering.

Scanned Documents
