The Smart Revolution in Artwork Proofreading

EyeC is a Business Reporter client.

Sophisticated wording and relevant content play a huge part in a business’s success and reputation. For all documents—from important contracts and business proposals to product packaging and web copy—the presence of typos and other thoughtless errors can reflect poorly on the quality of a company’s services and demonstrate a lack of attention to detail. It can even result in widespread delays, product recalls or legal repercussions. Documents and artwork originating from multiple languages and frequent design changes—such as in packaging—mean that, without critical oversight, mistakes are almost inevitable.

Errors and misprints can not only harm a company’s reputation but are also costly to fix. Thorough proofreading and correction are obviously crucial; however, the attention to detail and intense focus required are a challenge if proofing is done manually. EyeC, an expert in vision systems for print image control and sample inspection, leads the way in modern proofreading solutions.

EyeC ProofText is an innovative, highly automated web-based artwork proofreading system that prevents errors as early as possible in the print and packaging process and value chain. The system-independent SaaS web application compares various text sources with other files, such as the PDF of the initial artwork file or proof, for a complete overview. No matter how complex the documents are, an intelligent algorithm finds and evaluates deviations between documents—including text content and fonts, regardless of position, structure and style—in just a single step. It is specifically designed to help agencies, design studios, marketing departments, regulatory departments and suppliers reduce laborious revision cycles and speed up the artwork creation and prepress process.

With the help of EyeC ProofText, jobs can be checked efficiently and time can be saved by inspecting multiple documents in different languages simultaneously. The intuitive usability of the system, the intelligent algorithm and the innovative user interface in combination with easy-to-use tools enable every user to check and evaluate complex documents regardless of location—a huge plus when part of the workforce is remote.

Minor errors or typing mistakes are quickly highlighted, so gross errors can be avoided and money is saved in the long run. ProofText offers up to 75% faster overall review time than comparable systems on the market thanks to its highly automated text-matching, first-class usability and efficient evaluation.

As a result, error-prone, time-consuming manual checks of text-heavy artwork, package inserts, brochures and flyers are now a thing of the past. EyeC ProofText can increase productivity in an unprecedented manner and help maximize the potential of an error-free and resource-saving digital economy.
