What are automated proofreading solutions?

 An automated proofreading solution automatically inspects artwork and/or text for differences. Instead of manually comparing items character by character, our solutions offer a significantly faster, easier, and more accurate method for inspections.

How do automated proofreading solutions actually work?

Global Vision’s solutions automatically inspect and compare two items for any deviations in graphics or text. The solutions automatically flag the differences within seconds. The user then evaluates, comments, and produces reports based on the results.

The purpose of our systems is to identify, evaluate, and document differences. Any correction or changes are intentionally not made within our solutions.

Do your solutions have the ability to inspect text in any language?

Our solutions are language independent. They have the ability to detect differences in virtually any language. The technology has been developed to find any difference, regardless of the language. Without our solutions, our customers were faced with the difficulty of attempting to proofread items in languages that were not their own. With our solutions a Spanish operator can detect errors on Japanese packages without any trouble.

How long does it take to inspect?

A 60 page document can be inspected instantly and the differences will be flagged for the operator in seconds instead of hours.

Why should I automate the proofreading process?

Published copy and artwork related errors can have a disastrous impact on your company. Errors tarnish your brand identity, not to mention other negative impacts such as costly product recalls and severe client dissatisfaction. Imagine the impact of a medical label accidentally dropping a decimal point in the dosage?

Manually proofreading is a time consuming, difficult, and error-prone process. Especially with strict regulations, multiple department participation, multi-lingual copies, tight deadlines, and new files versions. Keeping track and ensuring artwork and copy integrity is a daunting task for most individuals and their organizations. Global Vision can change this.

Which product do I need?

The products you need depend on your workflow and the types of items you are inspecting (hardcopy to hardcopy, hardcopy to electronic, or electronic to electronic).

For example, if you are inspecting a hardcopy item to an electronic file, you will need one of our camera or scanner based systems.

Also, the quality of the samples you are using will play a role in the type of product that is best suited for you. Even the type of person using the system will influence your purchasing decision.
