Overview: Optical Character Recognition (OCR) for Images and Video in Aprimo enables the automatic extraction of any visible text within image and video files using advanced AI algorithms. The extracted text is stored as part of the asset’s metadata and is indexed for search, allowing users to locate assets based on embedded text content.
- Enhanced captioning provides human-like descriptions of images and documents, improving contextual search and discoverability.
- These capabilities are configurable via rules and maintenance jobs, allowing organizations to tailor enrichment processes to their content types and business needs.
- Together, OCR, enhanced captioning, and smart tagging form a robust suite of tools for maximizing the value and usability of digital assets within Aprimo’s DAM platform.
What: OCR for Images and Video in Aprimo is an AI-driven feature that automatically extracts visible text from image and video files.
Details: This extracted text is stored in the asset's metadata and made available in the search index, enabling users to search for assets based on the text contained within them. The feature also includes enhanced captioning, which generates rich, human-like descriptions of images and documents, and integrates with smart tagging to further enrich asset metadata. The extraction process can be triggered automatically via rules or initiated manually through maintenance jobs, providing flexibility in how and when enrichment occurs.
Why: This feature is vital for organizations managing large volumes of visual and multimedia assets, as it transforms previously inaccessible embedded text into actionable metadata.
Details: By making text and descriptive information within images and videos searchable, Aprimo OCR accelerates asset discovery, reduces manual tagging effort, and supports compliance and accessibility initiatives. Enhanced captioning and smart tagging further improve productivity by enabling natural language and contextual search, ensuring users find the right content quickly and efficiently.
The Where
Where to find it: OCR for Images and Video is integrated within Aprimo’s Digital Asset Management (DAM) platform.
Details: It appears in asset ingestion workflows, asset detail views (where extracted text and captions are displayed as metadata), and search interfaces (where users can leverage the enriched metadata for advanced queries). Configuration and management occur within the administration settings, where rules and maintenance jobs are set up to control when and how OCR and enhanced captioning are applied.
Key Behaviors: This feature typically supports the following actions:
- Automatic text extraction during asset ingestion or via scheduled maintenance jobs
- Rule-based triggering for specific file types or content states
- On-demand enrichment for existing assets
Also Supports: Extracted text is stored under the 'ocr' subheader in the asset's metadata and becomes part of the search index. Enhanced captioning generates descriptive metadata for images and documents, supporting searches based on both visual and textual content. Contributors can review and utilize enriched metadata, while consumers benefit from improved search and discovery experiences.
