Extracting Measurements with OCR

Presto OCR automates the extraction of measurements from ultrasound tech sheets, DEXA measurements, or other scanned documents from PACS and integrates them into your report. Instead of manually transcribing values, capture a screenshot and let Presto read the measurements for you.

With a report open in PowerScribe and Presto connected, click the camera button in the bottom bar of the Presto widget. This activates region selection mode.

Your screen will dim and the cursor will change to a crosshair. Click and drag to draw a rectangle around the measurements you want to extract — this can be a tech worksheet displayed in your PACS viewer, a scanned document, or any on-screen measurement table.

Release the mouse button to complete the selection. Presto captures the selected region and sends it for processing.

After a few seconds, the extracted measurements appear in the Presto widget as a new finding. Each measurement is listed on its own line with its value and unit preserved exactly as shown on the source document.

Click the merge button (or the shortcut on your microphone or keyboard shortcut) to merge the extracted measurements into your report, just like any other finding. Presto routes each measurement into the appropriate template field.

In addition to region selection, Presto supports window capture mode. Right-click the camera button to open a context menu with two options:

• Region — Click and drag to select a rectangular area (default, described above).
• Window — Hover over any application window to highlight it, then click to capture the entire window contents.

Window mode is useful when the measurements fill an entire application window and you want to capture everything without drawing a selection box.
