Applications
There are numerous applications for Content Compare automated proofreading software. Pharmaceutical labelling is understandably the largest single application because it is so highly regulated and errors can have dire consequences. Food labelling is also very important because there are similar pressures not to have errors in the legal content such as allergy information and other ingredients. Content Compare is also used for proofreading multi-page instruction books and manuals. These are often written in multiple-languages which makes checking by eye much more difficult and time consuming.
Proofreading Pharmaceutical Packaging
The pharmaceutical manufacturer needs to check the final artwork against the original manuscript or artwork with change notes. The graphics company will want to ensure the final artwork is correct when compared to the supplied manuscript. The printed article can be checked against the approved PDF using the EyeC Proofiler.
The information printed on food labels is originally produced in a Pack Copy; this is often produced on an on-line utility provided by companies such as Red Sky. Information on the pack copy is ordered precisely and after approval by the retailer is sent to the graphics company for design. The design is approved before going to the printer and the packaging is then sent to the food manufacturer. The timescales for the overerall cycle are generally much shorter than for pharmaceuticals so automated comparison can show quick paybacks.
Automatic Text Verification of Manuals
Games manuals and instruction books have a lot of text and graphical information usually in multiple languages. Content Compare can check the content and proof read much faster and more accurately than traditional techniques.
Brand Management and Graphic Design
Brand Management is about consistency and accuracy. Content Compare helps ensure that graphics and text conform to the customer's requirements at each stage of the artwork production.
