How does DaytaPol calculate OCR?

OCR is being calculated by the number of processed pages by the DaytaPol engine.
If the user exceeds the OCR quota that his subscription allows, DaytaPol engine will be uploading the remaining files as a regular images/PDF documents.

If the user is nearly exceeding the OCR quota that his subscription allows, and already exceeded the quota during the processing of a file that contains multiple pages, DaytaPol engine will allow the user to exceed it for the processing file only, and the next file will be added as a regular file.

Example: If the user’s quota is 2 pages, and the user uploads a file with 3 pages, the OCR engine will process the all 3 pages. However, the next file will be skipped form the OCR processing and will be uploaded as a regular file.
